Jay McKinsey + 1,490 March 24, 2022 Stellantis Will Partner With LG To Build A Battery Factory In Canada Stellantis and LGES will build a new battery factory in Ontario. Just a few days ago, we told our readers that CATL is thinking about building a battery factory somewhere in North America, possibly in Canada. Now comes word that Stellantis and LG Energy Solution (LGES) have plans to build a battery factory together in Windsor, Ontario, directly across the Detroit River from America’s self-proclaimed Motor City. Autoblog reports LGES will own 51% of the joint venture, with Stellantis owning the remainder. According to Electrive, the annual production capacity of the new $4 billion factory will be 45 gigawatt-hours (GWh). LG Energy already has a battery factory in Michigan, is building two more in conjunction with General Motors, and has another under consideration in Arizona. The total capacity of all its North American factories will exceed 200 GWh a year — enough to power approximately 2.5 million electric vehicles. The battery modules from Ontario will cover “a large part of Stellantis’ production needs in North America,” according to the company. The two corporations say they expect “the new battery factory to serve as a catalyst for building a strong battery supply chain in the region,” a recognition of the new geopolitical realities following the Russian assault on Ukraine. The factory will create 2,500 new jobs and is expected to begin production in about 2 years. “Our joint venture with LG Energy Solution is yet another stepping stone to achieving our aggressive electrification roadmap in the region aimed at hitting 50% of battery electric vehicle sales in the US and Canada by the end of the decade,” said Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. “We are grateful to the Municipal, Provincial and Federal levels of government for their support and commitment to help position Canada as a North American leader in the production of electric vehicle batteries.” 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old-Ruffneck + 1,239 er March 24, 2022 March 23, 2022 Dear Valued Customer, Last fall, Governor Pritzker signed a comprehensive new State Energy Law that aims to move the state toward a cleaner energy future. The legislation contains some very positive provisions that we believe will be beneficial to our customers and Downstate communities, including measures allowing Ameren Illinois to continue to make reliability investments in our electric infrastructure, construct solar facilities, and deliver clean energy to your homes and businesses. This legislation also creates a multitude of new state programs and costs that Ameren Illinois is mandated to include in your monthly bill. Some of these charges are already factored into your monthly energy bill, and new charges will be added as the law is implemented. We are committed to transparency and keeping you informed about changes you may see on your monthly bill. To learn more about this new legislation and how it may affect you, and to find out more about these new programs, visit us at AmerenIllinois.com/StateEnergyLaw. Sincerely, Richard J.

Ecocharger + 1,459 DL March 25, 2022 On 3/22/2022 at 1:05 PM, Jay McKinsey said: Elon Musk personally delivers first made-in Germany Tesla Model Y at Gigafactory Berlin Tesla has officially started deliveries of its first made-in-Germany Model Y vehicles, which marks an important moment in Tesla’s expansion. CEO Elon Musk was present to hand over the first cars and he gave a brief speech. It’s a big deal because these are the first Tesla vehicles produced in Europe and right in the backyard of the strong German auto industry no less. But for Tesla, it’s a big deal not only for adding production capacity with a new factory and tapping into the talent pool in Europe, but it is also going to help Tesla’s logistics by having vehicles made in Europe to feed the European market and free up some production in the US and China for other markets. Small potatoes, Jay. EVs are less than 1% of the vehicle market. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is like the Putin syndrome. If you tell the truth you will disappear. If you explain the green movement is primarily Musk. We’ll you just don’t bring it up. Even Trump knows Musks tweets move the market more than his. What’s funny is Musk is rarely accused of fake news in a world of fake news. Even though he is months behind to years behind in areas.

Current XR is 1.1 USD to the Euro According to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the annual mean wage for a full-time wage or salary worker in the United States is $53,490 per year or $1,028 per week (for a 40-hour work week). This equates to €48,627 per year, so a difference of €927 per year or €77/month hardly substandard, unless you think US wages are substandard I guess. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
