Tesla Inc is lobbying the Ontario government as part of an effort to set up an"advanced manufacturing facility" in Canada, a filing by the electric-vehicle maker to the province's Office of the Integrity Commissioner showed.
Tesla as well as the office of Ontario's minister for economic development, job creation and trade did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Tesla has been ramping up production with Chief Executive Elon Musk last week speaking half in jest to shareholders yelling"Canada" -"We've got a lot of Canadas, I'm half Canadian, maybe I should."
U.S. electric-vehicle makers are also looking to source materials and build cars closer home to diversify supply chains and lower their dependence on China, the world's largest supplier of EV batteries.
