GM to close Detroit battery assembly plant, but not for reasons you might think

GM is closing the Brownstown Battery Assembly Plant near Detroit, which previously produced battery packs for the Cadillac Celestiq and Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray. The closure is not related to GM's electrification strategy, as it is due to the expiration of the lease on the site. Employees and operations will be transferred to other GM facilities, while the company maintains its commitment to electric vehicle production and research.
