Volkswagen has pushed back the opening of its EV battery factory in Ontario by two years. The company had previously said it expected the plant to be in production by next year.
The project is tied to Volkswagen, and the delay was disclosed after the company’s earlier timeline came under question. The source does not give a revised opening date beyond the two-year postponement.
The plant is in Ontario, and the report was published on Sept. 28, 2026. It says the opening had been expected sooner before the new delay was announced.
The article quotes Ontario Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade Minister Vic Fedeli, who said Friday the mixed news was “extremely exciting.”
National Observer reported the delay, citing the company’s earlier confidence about starting production by next year and the province’s reaction to the revised schedule.
