Toyota is shifting a $1.5 billion battery order it had placed with LG Energy Solution from one facility to another manufacturing plant in Michigan after GM pulled out of a deal it had made with the battery supplier.

The Japanese automaker currently offers 30 electrified models in the U.S. , which is more than any other automaker.

The batteries Toyota will purchase will be for pure electric vehicles or hybrids.
