Description

Canada's budget watchdog put the public cost of three EV battery plants at C$43.6 billion. Then the bet started falling apart, one plant at a time. Doug Brennan climbs the ladder rung by rung: Honda's C$15 billion Ontario plan suspended, Ford Oakville trading EVs for Super Duty trucks, the Windsor NextStar plant building storage cells instead of car batteries, Volkswagen's St. Thomas plant pushed to 2029, and the Northvolt collapse in Quebec. He shows where the money actually went and the one decision that set it all up. Then the part that matters at home: what it means for your EV's resale value, battery warranty, parts and charging, and for you as a taxpayer. Will your next car be electric? Tell us in the comments.
