Sudbury is at the 'epicentre' of the electric vehicle boom, says economic development minister

Vic Fedeli predicts exciting year ahead for Northern Ontario on the critical minerals development frontThere’s a window of opportunity for Ontario to be part of the electrical vehicle revolution, said Vic Fedeli, the province’s economic development minister, and Ontario needs to move fast to secure its global position. Creating a homegrown BEV supply chain from mines to manufacturing plants is an economic priority for the Ford government. Places like Sudbury are at the “pointy end of the spear,” Fedeli said, in the coming electric vehicle boom. The latter is an indirect difference to Frontier Lithium of Sudbury and its PAK lithium project near the Manitoba border. Backing the development, he said, is a fully committed Premier Doug Ford who’s prepared to put $1 billion into the mine-related infrastructure.
