“The facility will now create more than 1,700 good-paying American jobs to produce a planned capacity of approximately 20 GWh.”
Ford had originally suggested the site would create around 2,500 jobs but had paused the project in September.
“We still expect BlueOval Battery Park Michigan to be the first of Ford’s battery plants of this kind when it begins producing LFP battery cells starting in 2026,” the automaker added.
“While we remain bullish on our long term strategy for electric vehicles, we are retiming and resizing some investments.”
