Swedish manufacturer Northvolt says it was once again targeted by vandals at the site of its future electric vehicle battery megaplant outside Montreal.

Due to the sensitive and/or legal subject matter of some of the content on globalnews.ca, we reserve the ability to disable comments from time to time.The controversial Northvolt electric car battery plant on Montreal’s south shore continues to take shape. The Swedish company has announced it has begun the process of getting permission to put up a second building on the sprawling green site.

The company’s North American CEO, Paulo Cerruti, called for a press conference Monday afternoon to denounce what he says are “recent acts of vandalism that seriously endanger Northvolt employees and partners.” In a press release, Cerruti said in French that homemade bombs placed under some machinery over the weekend were discovered by a Northvolt team Monday morning.

Cerruti claims the devices were placed there with “the intent of injuring our workings and to presumably slow down our operations.”The construction of the plant has drawn a lot of criticism and opposition from local residents and environmental groups who say it is being built on environmentally sensitive land without being subject to a proper environmental assessment process, including full public consultations under the BAPE — the province’s Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement.
