The twin co-located plants, which will be built on 1,500-acre complex, will have capacity to produce up to 43GWh each for a total of 86GWh per year.

They will supply locally assembled batteries to Ford’s North American assembly plants to power next-generation electric Ford and Lincoln vehicles.

Together, Blue Oval City and BlueOvalSK Battery Park, are expected to create approximately 11,000 new jobs in Tennessee and Kentucky.

Ford executive chair Bill Ford said: “This is a transformative moment where Ford will lead America’s transition to electric vehicles and usher in a new era of clean, carbon-neutral manufacturing.

“With this investment and a spirit of innovation, we can achieve goals once thought mutually exclusive – protect our planet, build great electric vehicles Americans will love and contribute to our nation’s prosperity.”
