Location and production capacity of the plant in the US is still unknown but Toyota plans to hire 1,750 people for it
quote:
The United States (US) has a national target of having electric vehicles (EVs) to make up half of all new vehicle sales by 2030. The goal, set by President Joe Biden in August this year, left carmakers scrambling to increase the adoption and production of EVs. For Japanese carmaker Toyota Motor Corp., to ensure adequate local supply of batteries in the US for all upcoming EVs as well as plug-in hybrids, it is building its first US battery plant.
The plant is basically a part of Toyota’s roughly US$3.4 billion worth of battery-related investments to be made in the American market until 2030. The first US battery plant would take up approximately US$1.3 billion of the total investment allocated for the decade. The Japanese automaker also plans to establish a new company for the battery plant with group trading house Toyota Tsusho and the venture will be 90% owned by Toyota.
Toyota aims to create 1,750 jobs for the plant to begin production by 2025. To be precise, production would first focus on batteries for hybrid electric vehicles, the company said in a statement, without disclosing the location or production capacity. The plant will then progress to producing electric-vehicle batteries later on.
“Part of the new company’s activities will include helping Toyota to further develop and expand its local supply chain and production knowledge related to Lithium-ion automotive batteries. The venture will first focus on producing batteries for hybrid electric vehicles.

Or is our governor too busy rubbing elbows with the other losers in Glasgow this week to pick up the phone and call someone at Toyota?

We'd institute a new battery tax on them after the plant was finished

Toyota invests way more in America than Gubment Motors or Ford.

To attract outside businesses to come here, especially for work that is skilled to semi-skilled, we have to improve our infrastructure, meaning primarily schools, universities, parks and recreation, etc. If we can provide a quality place to raise a family, we can attract national and international businesses.

Sorry for your shite governor Louisiana.

Yes.
Could we get it? If someone at LED actually did their job, yes. Will we? No. Will we even seriously pursue it? No.

I agree; however, none of that is happening in the need term.
