GM to close its Brownstown battery assembly plant
The plant south of Detroit assembled battery packs for the Cadillac Celestiq and drive units and packs for the Corvette E-Ray.
What we know
- GM leased the site
- The lease was nearing its end
Not yet
- Which facilities get the workers
GM says the closure is not about its EV strategy: it leased the site, and the lease was nearing its end.
Employees and work will move to other GM facilities, and the company says it still researches new battery chemistries.
