The automaker announced additional downtime at the Chicago, Flat Rock, Kansas City and Kentucky Truck assembly plants this month and next, in addition to limited production at its Ohio plant.
The plant will use a different, more cost-effective battery chemistry than the one the companies will offer from the joint-venture plant they are building in Ohio, Reuters reported.
The center, to be located near Phoenix, will be capable of processing up to 10,000 metric tons of end-of-life batteries and battery-manufacturing scrap per year. That’s equal to about 20,000 EVs.
