WATCH LIVE: Trudeau, Ford mark electric vehicle manufacturing 'milestone' in Ingersoll, Ont.

Trudeau says electric delivery vans have started rolling off the line today at the General Motors CAMI production plant in Ingersoll, Ont., which has been retooled to build the company's BrightDrop all-electric vehicle brand.

The prime minister was joined by Ford and the province's Economic Development Minister Vic Fedeli to mark the milestone. The provincial and federal governments each invested $259 million toward GM's $2-billion plan to transform its Ingersoll plant and overhaul its Oshawa, Ont., plant to make it EV-ready.

The federal government says the Ingersoll plant is expected to manufacture 50,000 electric vehicles by 2025.This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 5, 2022.

Hurry get you ev just remember to get more than 50kms from a full charge during winter months do not use the heat in your vehicle keep it warm when it's cold and keep it in a heated garage

No wonder Doug Ford is so hated....look who he's in bed with

What a sorry state of affairs and pathetic excuse mainstream journalism has become. They literally let Ford get away with the most insane things like backroom deals and developer donor corruption. Yet when Wynne wasn't even involved in the gas plant scandal it was a story for yrs

So why oh why don’t you reinstate the provincial electric car rebate you removed ?

I hope Trudeau thoroughly washes his hand afterwards.

Guess they're buddies again.

Wow! How about the national health care crisis we have now days? Our pediatric hospitals and everything that matters? Are you both meeting any time soon?

Ford looks like trudopes puppet

Tried to buy an electric vehicle about 3 years ago, dealership jacked up the price of the car equivalent to the Federal rebate of $12,000.00. and then suggested they’d look after collecting the rebate. Not sure we need dealerships at all. Order cars straight on line!
