From personal experience, Alliston is totally tapped out for labour. All the Tier 1 suppliers out in the country from Palmerston all the way to Stratford have to bus in temps from big cities. If Honda is truly getting a land deal, then being near KW/Woodstock/London makes sense to try and get employees and access to the 401.
It’s important to note that the electric RAV4 is made assembled in Woodstock, so making components for an electric CR-V in the area wouldn’t be unprecedented.
