The plant as well as supporting facilities currently produce the Chevrolet Equinox and Chevrolet Blazer as well as engines and transmissions.
The investment includes new capacity for battery packs and other electronic components such as electric motors, which will begin during the second half of this year. It also includes a new paint shop, which is scheduled to begin operations in June, according to a translated press release from the company.
The Ramos Arizpe plant is expected to be GM's fifth manufacturing site in North America to produce electric vehicles following announcements for two plants in Michigan and others in Tennessee and Ontario, Canada. GM is expected to continue to build or convert plants to EV facilities globally as it moves to become an automaker that exclusively offers electric vehicles by 2035. That includes at least 30 new EVs by 2025
Solution,don't buy GM
Clearly they are dodging the $15 minimum wage SenateDems are pushing for by investing more foreign.
But I thought they were backing the USA! My bad it’s just business as usual
They waited for Biden to make this announcement
Slap in the face to Union Workers. Hell, what did they expect when they supported the current admin. Elections have consequences. When people actually start thinking and think on their own maybe they will realize how they have been played over and over again by both parties.
*GM to invest $1 billion in US government money in Mexico for electric vehicle production
Didn't the president just say buy American, make in America, use in America?
Some bullshit... I will never in my life by another GM.
Boycott any company doing this! It’s a disgrace and travesty against American workers. Millions are out of work and GM had the gall to announce THIS?!?!?!
Seize their domestic assets, sell them to a competitor who wants to stay, pay taxes and employ Americans, or nationalize those assets.
Yay! Jobs for Mexico!
GM to invest $1 billion in “Mexico” Not AMERICA ! Got it. Never want to hear that GM is an American car.
They are investing 1 billion .....to sell electric cars....why not give them the cars.....make 100 thousand cars and give them to the people who need them.....you will not make any money....but you will make 500 thousand people happy....economic vultures
Yeah, we didn't need these jobs and associated economic activity here in the US... EVs made outside the US should get zero tax credits as part of any program to subsidize them.
Ford with mach-e, now gm...
Why not here ?
Wow send the jobs to other countries
Haha keeping Biden on his promise made in 'America' just not usa
gm lots more more room in voltagevalley
This is a classic example about judging a tree by the fruit it bares..not the fruit it talks about.. the speech last night was full of misinformation here is the proof .. we are going backwards
Thanks Biden
Ford did the same thing with the 'mustang' mach e. So much for that heritage.
That would never be allowed to happen if Trump was running the show.
Guess GM didn’t get the message about investing in America
