Ford Motor Co. and its South Korean partners said Thursday they’re building a $1.2 billion manufacturing plant for electric vehicle battery material in Quebec with the help of government funding.

The Quebec and federal governments are covering about half the cost, each putting up $322 million for the project they say is good for the environment and the economy.
