Ford is planning on increasing its investment in battery hybrid and electric vehicles in Michigan by spending $135 million and creating 220 jobs. The investment will be used to expand research in battery-hybrid applications, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities at two plants. Ford will hire 170 workers at two plants that build battery packs and other components, as well as 50 engineers for electric-vehicle development. Having the highest unemployment rate in the country, this is great news for Michigan.
