GM, POSCO Chemical Plan New JV Plant In Quebec To Expand EV Supply Chain

General Motors Co GM and POSCO Chemical are working with the governments of Canada and Quebec to build a new facility in Bécancour, Quebec, estimated at $400 million (C$500 million).
The new facility will produce cathode active material (CAM) for GM's Ultium batteries to power electric vehicles like Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC HUMMER EV, and Cadillac LYRIQ.
The Quebec site will process CAM, a key battery material consisting of components like processed nickel, lithium, and other materials representing about 40% of the cost of a battery cell.
Construction on the new facility will begin immediately and create about 200 jobs.
Price Action: GM shares are trading lower by 4.36% at $40.55 on the last check Monday.
