Samsung SDI Co. said Tuesday it is pushing to build an electric vehicle battery manufacturing facility in the United States in a joint venture with General Motors Co.
The South Korean battery maker unveiled the plan in a regulatory filing, under which the two companies have agreed to invest more than US$3 billion in constructing a plant capable of producing over 30 gigawatt hours a year.
The location of the plant has not been decided yet, it said.
The factory will aim to go into commercial operation starting 2026.
