Tesla<\/a> Inc is lobbying the Ontario government as part of an effort to set up an “advanced manufacturing facility” in Canada, a filing by the electric-vehicle maker to the province’s Office of the Integrity Commissioner showed.<\/p>\n

The company’s Canadian unit is working with the government to “identify opportunities for industrial facility permitting reforms,” the amended filing from July 18 said.<\/p>\n

Tesla as well as the office of Ontario’s minister for economic development, job creation and trade did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Canadian Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne had said in May there were “very active discussions with a number of players” to develop an EV supply chain in Canada.<\/p>\n

Tesla has been ramping up production, with Chief Executive Elon Musk<\/a> last week speaking half in jest to shareholders yelling “Canada” \u2014 “We’ve got a lot of Canadas, I’m half Canadian, maybe I should.”<\/p>\n

He said the company “might be able” to announce a new factory later this year and it could ultimately have 10-12 gigafactories. Tesla manufactures vehicles from two factories in the United States and one each in Germany and China<\/a>.<\/p>\n

U.S. electric-vehicle makers are also looking to source materials and build cars closer home to diversify supply chains and lower their dependence on China, the world’s largest supplier of EV batteries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Such efforts could gain pace from a $430-billion bill approved on Sunday by the U.S. Senate that restricts automakers from using Chinese-made materials<\/a> by phasing in required percentages of North American-sourced battery components.<\/p>\n

After 2023, vehicles with batteries that have Chinese parts could not receive the credit<\/a>, while critical minerals also face limitations on sourcing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
