Tennessee is emerging as a leader for auto makers scrambling to develop electric vehicle and battery production, with the state and the Tennessee Valley Authority offering millions of dollars in incentives
But Mr. Alexander worried the next wave would bypass Tennessee.Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure bill includes specific references to bolstering the U.S.'s EV charging networks. That's led to a group of auto makers dramatically boosting their 2030 EV sales predictions, even though the bill hasn't been signed yet. WSJ’s George Downs takes a look at what that could mean for your drive.
Mr. Alexander told Mr. Haslam to lobby auto makers to dramatically expand electric-vehicle production in the state. Current Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, also a Republican, had his economic team assess the property and make upgrades to the wastewater and water infrastructure as well as other improvements to attract a large company like Ford. The TVA, which will provide energy for the complex, also marketed the property and earlier this year joined the state in pushing for Ford to take it over.
The influx of investment in the South comes at the expense of traditional automotive strongholds, including Ford’s home state of Michigan. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has said the state wasn’t given a real opportunity to land the investment.
