A joint venture of Stellantis and Samsung SDI plans to invest
more than $3.2 billion in a new battery manufacturing facility in
Kokomo, Indiana, in what will become the Jeep maker's sixth battery
facility globally.
Stellantis, formed by the combination of Fiat Chrysler and
Peugeot maker PSA Group, said Wednesday that the new StarPlus
Energy plant would begin production in early 2027 with an annual
capacity of 34 gigawatt hours. The plant will create 1,400 new
jobs.
Earlier this year, Stellantis said it would invest $155 million
in three Indiana plants to produce new electric drive modules, part
of the auto maker's plans to have half of its U.S. sales comprising
fully electric cars by the end of the decade.
Global electric-vehicle sales achieved around 10% market share
industrywide for the first time last year, driven mainly by strong
growth in China and Europe.
