Hyundai Motor set to open new EV facility in Georgia, US
Hyundai Motor Company is planning a new electric-vehicle manufacturing plant in the U.S., Reuters reported.
The company has held discussions with officials in Georgia, the report further noted.
When finalized, the Georgia facility would serve both Hyundai and Kia for their fully electric SUVs, the Ioniq 7 and EV9, aimed at the U.S. market.
"We are excited to announce a new EV plant plan in the United States soon, but we do not have details to share at this stage," Hyundai Motor said in a statement to Reuters.
Hyundai announced a $300-million investment last month to manufacture the all-electric Genesis GV 70 and a hybrid version of the Santa Fe at its Alabama plant.
The plan comes at the time when U.S. President Joe Biden's administration said it would set aside more than $3 billion in infrastructure funding to finance EV manufacturing.
现代汽车公司据路透社报道，该公司计划在美国新建一家电动汽车制造厂。
报道进一步指出，该公司已与佐治亚州的官员进行了讨论。
最终敲定后，佐治亚州的工厂将为现代和起亚的全电动SUV Ioniq 7和EV9提供服务，目标是美国市场。
现代汽车在给路透的一份声明中表示：“我们很高兴能很快在美国宣布一项新的电动汽车工厂计划，但现阶段我们没有细节可供分享。”
现代汽车上个月宣布投资3亿美元，在阿拉巴马州的工厂生产全电动Genesis GV 70和混合动力版本的Santa Fe。
该计划出台之际，美国总统拜登(Joe Biden)的政府表示，将拨出30多亿美元的基础设施资金，为电动汽车制造提供资金。
