As Ford visits the Windsor area, Stellantis says a battery plant deal still hasn't been secured

Ontario will contribute one-third of the cost to secure a deal with Stellantis to save Windsor’s electric vehicle battery plant, Premier Doug Ford revealed Thursday, though the final amount the province is chipping in won’t be made public until after a deal is signed. 

Making an announcement in Windsor-Essex, Ford maintained the deal with Stellantis was the federal government’s to secure.

“We’re here to help them get the deal, ” Ford said. “This is the federal government’s deal, we’re there to support them, we’re putting more money up and I think we’re that close from getting it done.”
