Ford Suspends Construction of Battery Plant

Need2Know Headlines

Ford is pausing construction of a battery plant in Michigan. The company announced yesterday, it was concerned that the plant might not be able to make products at a competitive price. It's unclear at least at this time if this is due to the ongoing United Auto Workers union strikes or other reasons. The company has been under fire from Republican lawmakers because of its plans to use technology licensed from a Chinese company to manufacture the batteries in Michigan.
