The Brownstown Battery Assembly Plant assembled battery packs for Cadillac’s flagship EV, the Celestiq, and both electric drive units (the motors that power the car) and battery packs for the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, a plug-in hybrid version of its famous sports car. Automotive News first reported the closure.
布朗斯敦（Brownstown）电池组装厂此前负责为凯迪拉克旗舰电动汽车 Celestiq 组装电池组，并为雪佛兰科尔维特 E-Ray（其著名跑车的插电式混合动力版本）生产电驱动装置（为汽车提供动力的电机）和电池组。《汽车新闻》（Automotive News）率先报道了此次关闭消息。
The closure is not related to GM’s electric vehicle strategy, the spokesperson said. Instead, GM leased the site, and the lease was nearing its end. The employees and work at Brownstown will be moved to other GM facilities, though the company would not confirm which ones.
该发言人表示，此次关闭与通用汽车的电动汽车战略无关。相反，该场地是通用汽车租赁的，且租约即将到期。布朗斯敦工厂的员工和工作将转移到通用汽车的其他设施，但该公司未确认具体是哪些设施。
Like many automakers, GM’s electrification strategy was thrown a curveball after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the sweeping federal law signed last year, repealed incentives to produce and sell EVs. Since then, the company has pared back its public comments on EVs, though it hasn’t given up on full electrification.
像许多汽车制造商一样，通用汽车的电气化战略在去年签署的全面联邦法律《一个宏大而美丽的法案》（One Big Beautiful Bill Act）废除电动汽车生产和销售激励措施后，遭遇了意外挫折。自那时起，该公司减少了对电动汽车的公开评论，尽管它并未放弃全面电气化。
GM continues to produce a range of EVs, including the Chevrolet Silverado EV and the limited-time-only Chevrolet Bolt. It also continues researching new battery chemistries, including lithium-manganese-rich and sodium-ion, and it’s rolling out a new $900 million facility to speed commercialization.
通用汽车继续生产一系列电动汽车，包括雪佛兰索罗德（Silverado）电动版和限时供应的雪佛兰 Bolt。它还继续研究新的电池化学技术，包括富锂锰基电池和钠离子电池，并正在推出一个耗资 9 亿美元的新设施以加速商业化进程。
