BERLIN - Volkswagen is considering building a battery cell factory in Ontario, Canada, the Handelsblatt business daily reported on Tuesday, adding that the province had offered investments and other incentives to win over the carmaker.

Five entries from January 2023 are listed in a Canadian lobby register for VW, and CEO Oliver Blume is mentioned there by name, the report said, citing the documents.

Volkswagen did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
