SEOUL, April 1 (Reuters) - South Korea's LG Energy
Solution said on Tuesday that its U.S. unit will
acquire the assets held by its Michigan electric vehicle battery
venture with General Motors ( GM ) for $2 billion.
The value of the deal, set to close on May 31, could change
after due diligence, the EV battery maker said in a filing.
GM has been scaling back its EV plans amid uncertainty about
the future of EV battery production and consumer tax credits
under the Trump administration and said in December it would
sell its stake in the plant.
LG and GM have two other U.S. battery plant joint ventures
operating in Ohio and Tennessee.
Toyota Motor ( TM ) has said it will transfer its order
for LG Energy Solution batteries to the Lansing, Michigan plant
that GM is exiting.
