Ford Motor said it was “on track” to qualify for lucrative, Biden-era federal tax credits for electric-vehicle batteries it plans to make at a new, $3 billion plant in Michigan, even under President Trump’s new tax bill. The automaker’s chairman had said the under-construction factory was “imperiled” because an earlier version of the “big, beautiful bill” would have rendered the factory ineligible for credits because of Ford’s reliance on a Chinese partner. Ford is licensing technology from leading Chinese battery maker CATL for the cells it will make at the plant, as well as for the plant’s production process.
