Gotion Sues Michigan Town Over EV Battery Plant Dispute

Gotion, a Chinese company, is suing Green Charter Township in west Michigan for allegedly blocking a $2.4 billion electric vehicle battery plant. The lawsuit comes after the township's board, which had members elected on an anti-project platform, voted to reverse an agreement crucial to the plant's construction. Gotion claims the delays will harm the region and is seeking a federal judge to order the township to comply with its obligations. The project has faced pushback, including concerns about Chinese government influence and lack of community engagement. Gotion plans to invest $2.4 billion and create thousands of jobs, with support from Michigan officials.
