We shall see if this pans out. Right now, states like Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina are dominating when it comes to EV investments. In 2022, Georgia alone saw $24 billion in investments for EV plants. So, it will be interesting to see what Michigan can do.
Michigan predicted to “dominate” EV battery manufacturing after $2B investment
https://www.mlive.com/public-interes...nvestment.htmlA recent CNBC story highlighted Michigan among the top three states that will “dominate electric vehicle battery manufacturing in the United States by 2030.”
Michigan, Georgia and Kentucky will be able to manufacture between 97 and 136 gigawatt hours’ worth of EV batteries per year by 2030, according to plans they have laid out, according to a November 2022 report from the Argonne National Laboratory.
The U.S. Department of Energy highlighted the three states as having the highest predicted growth.
Thanks to a wave of new planned vehicle battery plants, North America’s total battery manufacturing capacity is to expand from 55 gigawatt-hours per year in 2021 to nearly 1,000 gigawatt hours by 2030, according to the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
