Hyundai and LG Plan $4.3 Billion Battery Plant in Georgia
Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solutions announced plans on Thursday to build a $4.3 billion electric vehicle battery plant in Georgia, the latest clean energy facility to come to the state.
The project is expected to bring 3,000 new jobs to southeast Georgia by the end of 2025. It is the second battery manufacturing plant that Hyundai is developing in the state, which has used incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act to open new facilities. Hyundai announced in December that it had partnered with SK On, a Korean electric vehicle battery developer, to build a plant in Bartow County.
“Hyundai Motor Group is focusing on its electrification efforts to secure a leadership position in the global auto industry,” Jaehoon Chang, president and chief executive of Hyundai Motor Company, said in a statement.
