\nToyota adds $2.1B to its US battery factory expansion plans<\/br>
\n2023-05-31 21:40:28<\/br><\/p>\n

Toyota will spend an additional $2.1 billion to build a new battery plant in North Carolina, the latest sign that the automaker is attempting to catch up with an industry that has embraced the move to electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

The Japanese automaker also announced Wednesday it will build its first U.S.-made electric SUV at its Kentucky factory, starting from 2025. The three-row car will use batteries supplied by Toyota\u2019s North Carolina factory.<\/p>\n

At the outset, the news suggests that Toyota is strengthening its commitment to EVs. Historically, the company has lagged behind other automakers<\/a> in announcing new EV models,\u00a0instead supporting hydrogen-based vehicles. But earlier this year, Toyota said it plans to introduce 10 new battery-powered vehicles<\/a>, with a target of 1.5 million EVs sold per year by 2026.<\/p>\n

The battery plant in North Carolina is part of the company\u2019s renewed pledge toward electrification \u2014 albeit it\u2019s not one committed to only all-electric vehicles. Of the six production lines slated to go live when production begins in 2025, only two will be dedicated to all-electric EVs. The other four will be for hybrid EVs.<\/p>\n

Toyota hasn\u2019t yet shared the expected gigawatt-hour capacity of its plant. In the past, the company has said it could produce enough batteries for 1.2 million vehicles per year.<\/p>\n

The increased capital spend into a U.S. battery factory signals that the government\u2019s incentives to boost battery manufacturing nationally is working. The Inflation Reduction Act<\/a>, signed into law in August 2022, includes incentives to produce batteries in the U.S. The result has been a slew of commitments<\/a> from automakers domestic and international \u2014 from Ford<\/a> and General Motors<\/a> to BMW<\/a> and Hyundai<\/a> \u2014 to get production up and running on U.S. soil in the next few years.<\/p>\n

Toyota initially announced its commitment to building a U.S.-based factory in 2021. At the time, the Japanese automaker earmarked $1.3 billion<\/a> for a factory near Greensboro. Last September, Toyota tripled that investment<\/a> to $3.8 billion. The latest capital injection brings Toyota\u2019s total commitment to $5.9 billion.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
