Pritzker said the plant converting to a full-time EV plant is not out of the question. "EV is a much larger enterprise. Typically they are co-locating, which is something Stellantis is especially focused on," Pritzker said. "They need a lot of land, but fortunately, Belvidere has a lot of land, and they own that land. I think we are in a good position to help them into what is the next phase of manufacturing in Belvidere."
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
I bet Pritzker was there to advise them on removing toilets for a tax break since the plant will be idled.
This Bloomberg articale has musk building new giant tesla plant in Mexico…because Canada & Mexico just won court battle that will more than likely make EVs made in Mexico qualify for EV tax credits…so forget about basket case Illinois, Amendment 1, machine politics, etc. https://archive.ph/2022.12.17-021522/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-17/tesla-plans-to-announce-mexico-ev-plant-as-soon-as-next-week
