NEW YORK -- Toyota Motor has chosen the state of North Carolina as the location for its U.S. factory to make battery packs for up to 1.2 million electrified vehicles a year, Japan's top automaker said Monday.
The Greensboro-Randolph factory is scheduled to begin operation in 2025 with four production lines and a total capacity of lithium-ion batteries for 800,000 vehicles. Capacity will later be increased.
