Chinese EV battery maker sues Michigan township over $2.4B factory plan
Chinese battery manufacturer Gotion Inc. is suing the township where it plans to build a $2.4 billion electric vehicle battery factory, alleging breach of contract in relation to the project.
The company filed a lawsuit Friday against Green Township, which is just north of Big Rapids, three hours northwest of Detroit, in U.S. District Court Western District of Michigan, claiming that in November it “abruptly reneged” on contractual obligations established for the project in 2023.
“The (Green Township) Board gave no justifiable reason for its sudden refusal to honor its contractual obligations,” the lawsuit said.
“The only thing that changed between October and November was the composition of the Township’s Board, most of whose members are now ardently opposed to Gotion’s project,” according to the complaint, written by Gotion attorney Ashley Chrysler with Warner Norcross + Judd LLP.
At immediate issue in the federal lawsuit is the construction of water infrastructure for the project, which is promised to bring 2,350 new jobs and dramatic change to the rural community.
