Honda Canada has announced a two-year pause on its Ontario investments that included retooling an assembly facility and building an electric vehicle (EV) plant. The company says that the current Honda plant in Alliston, Ontario, won't be affected, but the company will be evaluating the EV market over the next two years to decide what to do. Beyond the retooling and the EV plant, the automaker was also slated to make two key battery parts facilities in Ontario. This project was expected to create another 1,000 autoworker jobs in the province, bringing Honda's job offerings in Ontario to 4,200. Ford also plans to make sure Honda is held accountable for any government funds and incentives it receives.
