SK Innovation Co. will invest $940 million more in expanding its electric vehicle (EV) battery plant in the US.
SK Battery America will break ground on the second EV plant with a capacity of 11.7 gigawatt-hours in July.
SK Innovation already has a $1.67 billion investment for two manufacturing facilities in the state of Georgia.
Georgia Gov. Brian P. Kemp said that with SK innovation's investments, Georgia is cementing its status as the Southeastern US hub for the EV and EV battery market.

It would further increase its capacity to 100 GWh by 2025.
