Foxconn and Lordstown declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. Lordstown, which named a new chief executive in August, is working to launch its electric Endurance pickup truck while also looking to raise additional funding. The Ohio company also faces regulatory scrutiny. Lordstown had previously said it was in talks to build vehicles for other automakers or lease space in its factory. Lordstown uses only 30% of the plant's 6.2 million square feet. Foxconn, meanwhile, has been exploring possible sites to build EVs in the United States.
