Hyundai Says It Will Spend $2.7 Billion Expanding Part of the Georgia Complex Raided by ICE
Hyundai Motor Group confirmed it is going forward with previously announced plans to expand its Georgia plant, just weeks after an immigration raid delayed the startup of an electric vehicle battery plant at the site. As part of a broader investment strategy, Hyundai said it would spend $2.7 billion to increase production capacity at the Ellabell, Georgia site by 200,000 over the next three years, to a total of 500,000 vehicles a year. Hyundai said that it plans to make more than 80% of vehicles sold in the United States domestically by 2030, with total domestic content increasing from 60% to 80%. Hyundai pledges to hire at least 8,500 workers by the end of 2031. Hyundai to expand Georgia plant despite ICE raid | AP News
