GM has invested more than $3.3 billion in Ohio since 2009.

Separately, GM and LG Chem formed a joint venture—Ultium Cells LLC—and together are investing more than $2.3 billion to build a new, state-of-the-art battery cell manufacturing plant in Lordstown, OH, that will create more than 1,100 new jobs. Construction of the facility is underway. The new battery cell manufacturing plant will play a critical role in GM’s commitment to an all-electric future.

In addition, GM has been working closely with Lordstown Motors Corp. since May 2019 to support the launch of its Endurance pickup. GM is investing $75 million in the company, which includes the sale of the former Lordstown assembly plant and production equipment.
