China’s Gotion To Build “Historic” $2 Billion EV Battery Plant In Illinois – Forbes

The project to be located in Manteno is “the most significant new manufacturing investment in Illinois in decades,” Gov. JB Pritzker said in a press release. The site will cover about 150 acres; 2,600 new jobs are to be created, and production is expected to start next year. Gotion’s investment will be supported by a “Reimagining Energy and Vehicles” incentive package, a new “Invest in Illinois” fund, and “other incentives” worth a total of $536 million.

Of course nothing in the works for hydrogen fuel cells.
