General Motors has picked a fifth plant to build its 2023 electric vehicles and it is in Mexico, which the United Auto Workers union calls "a slap in the face."
GM has already declared it will make EVs at four locations in the United States and Canada.
But on Thursday, GM said it will invest more than $1 billion at its manufacturing complex in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico, for a new paint shop and innovative technology that will start operations in June 2021.
In a statement, GM said part of the initial investment is to prepare the site for "an expansion of the assembly and Global Propulsion Systems plants, to make Ramos Arizpe Complex the fifth GM manufacturing facility to produce electric vehicles."
