Canada making electric vehicle, battery pitch to Mitsubishi, Nissan and Subaru

OTTAWA — Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says the convergence of Canada's automotive and mining sectors is working to lure more companies to Canada to make electric cars and the batteries that power them.

Those announcements included retooling or expanding auto manufacturing plants that already exist in Canada. Champagne says the sales pitch is to point out that in a world where supply chain issues are a massive headache for manufacturers, Canada has the skilled workforce, the raw materials and the stability they desire.

While he is also meeting with Honda and Toyota, both of which are retooling Canadian plants so they can make electric vehicles, the meetings with the others are different, he says.
