Another economic boom coming to NC. Toyota to build $1.29B battery plant


Toyota has been a big name in electrified vehicles for quite some time, and now it's getting even more serious with production EVs and more hybrid models than ever. That means that its need for batteries is greater than ever. To cope with that, Toyota announced on Monday that it's building a new battery production facility in North Carolina at a cost of $1.29 billion, which isn't exactly chump change.

The facility will be called Toyota Battery Manufacturing, North Carolina (TBMNC) – super creative, I know – and once it's up and running at capacity, it will be able to produce enough battery packs for 1.2 million EVs and hybrids.
