The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, was joined today by the Premier of Quebec, Fran\u00e7ois Legault, to welcome a new electric vehicle battery manufacturing facility.<\/h2>\n

The electric vehicle battery facility will be built by Northvolt Batteries North America in Saint-Basile-le-Grand and McMasterville, Quebec.<\/p>\n

All along the electric vehicle supply chain, from mining to processing critical minerals, through building batteries, Quebec is attracting historic investments from companies all around the world.<\/p>\n

These investments are growing the economy and creating well-paying jobs for decades to come.<\/p>\n

The electric vehicle battery facility will produce the cleanest batteries in the world<\/h3>\n

Powered by clean electricity, the batteries produced<\/a> at the facility will be amongst the greenest batteries in the world.<\/p>\n

Once fully operational, the electric vehicle battery plant will generate economic benefits equal to the value of the production incentives provided, within five to nine years.<\/p>\n

It will also support tens of thousands of jobs across the country and contribute up to CA$1.6bn to GDP annually when at full capacity.<\/p>\n

Peter Carlsson, co-founder and CEO of Northvolt, stated: \u201cWe established the facility with a clear vision to pioneer a sustainable model for the battery industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n
