Gotion, a prominent Chinese battery manufacturer, has decided to halt its plans for establishing a $2.4 billion facility in Michigan, aimed at producing components for electric vehicles, as confirmed by state authorities on Thursday.

Initially unveiled in October 2022, this venture was projected to generate 2,350 jobs. However, it faced opposition from certain legislators due to the company’s Chinese ownership. According to the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), a $125 million state grant intended for the project was never utilized. The MEDC also stated its intentions to reclaim an additional $23.6 million state award that was allocated for purchasing the site.

The development was first covered by Crain’s Grand Rapids Business, where an MEDC representative expressed skepticism about the plant’s feasibility without the grant funding.
