LG Chem is prepared to invest $4.5 billion over the next 5 years to expand battery capacity in the United States. In a Thursday email, according to\u00a0Bloomberg Green, LG\"\" Chem said it would not only sink $4.5 billion into battery capacity expansion, but it would hire 10,000 workers.<\/h1>\n

The company hatched the plan over the last year in response to what it says as the growing demand<\/strong> for electric vehicles and President Biden\u2019s<\/strong> ambitious green policies.<\/p>\n

Several automakers<\/strong> are planning to electrify their fleet of vehicles<\/strong>. Ford<\/strong> and GM<\/strong> have vowed to go all electric\u2014at least in Europe\u2014by 2030<\/strong>. Jaguar<\/strong>, too, has plans to become an all electric car<\/strong> manufacturer by 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Companies heavily invested in EVs<\/strong> and EV tech<\/strong> have been emboldened in the United State<\/strong>\u2019s by President Biden\u2019s support for the electric vehicle industry\u2014and all signs point to this trend continuing, but has been temporarily slows by a semiconductor shortage<\/strong> that has automakers scrambling<\/strong> to get their hands on what is currently available in the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe goals of the U.S. president and automakers will be a propelling factor in the growth of the country\u2019s electric vehicle and energy storage systems markets<\/strong>,\u201d Jong Hyun Kim, chief executive officer of LG Energy Solution, said in the statement to Bloomberg.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
