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.
現代汽車公司據路透社報道，該公司計劃在美國新建一家電動汽車製造廠。
報道進一步指出，該公司已與佐治亞州的官員進行了討論。
最終敲定後，佐治亞州的工廠將為現代和起亞的全電動SUV Ioniq 7和EV9提供服務，目標是美國市場。
現代汽車在給路透的一份聲明中表示：“我們很高興能很快在美國宣佈一項新的電動汽車工廠計劃，但現階段我們沒有細節可供分享。”
現代汽車上個月宣佈投資3億美元，在阿拉巴馬州的工廠生產全電動Genesis GV 70和混合動力版本的Santa Fe。
該計劃出臺之際，美國總統拜登(Joe Biden)的政府表示，將撥出30多億美元的基礎設施資金，為電動汽車製造提供資金。
