Honda to Build Major EV Plant in Ontario

The multibillion-dollar investment marks Canada's largest industrial deal, set to boost the country's electric vehicle production capacity.

  • Honda is expected to announce a significant investment this week to establish a new electric vehicle plant in Ontario, involving the construction of facilities for batteries and EV assembly.
  • The deal, described as the largest in Canadian history, is supported by both federal and provincial government incentives, including a new 10% business tax credit for construction related to the EV supply chain.
  • Premier Doug Ford announced the deal, noting it would be double the size of a previous investment by Volkswagen, emphasizing its historic scale.
  • The plant will be located in Alliston, Ontario, about an hour outside Toronto, enhancing Canada's position as a key player in the North American electric vehicle market.
  • Honda's commitment aligns with its goals to sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2040 and achieve carbon neutrality in its operations by 2050.
