General Motors Co. plans to build its third U.S. battery plant with partner LG Chem Ltd. in Michigan and will commit its Orion assembly plant to electric vehicles, a person familiar with the matter said.
The Detroit automaker has applied for tax abatements for projects in both Orion Township and outside Lansing, Michigan, said the person, who put the cost at more than $4 billion. GM would build a new battery plant in Lansing and make Orion, which already assembles the Chevrolet Bolt, a site for future electric vehicles.
