Georgia, where Hyundai and Kia already have manufacturing facilities, was one of the states mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst the rumors, a Hyundai spokesperson confirmed that the company is planning a new EV factory in the US, but it is not announcing details yet:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>We are excited to announce a new EV plant plan in the United States soon, but we do not have details to share at this stage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The publication reports that Hyundai has been in advanced discussions with officials in Georgia for &#8220;a dedicated EV facility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hyundai has made some great progress in electrification with the Ioniq 5, but it is only being produced in Korea and Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a great market for the vehicle in the US, and it would make sense for the automaker to produce it locally.  The Ioniq 5 is already sold out for up to a year in some regions in North America.  Hyundai has also a series of other Ioniq electric vehicles coming to market, and those could also use some production capacity in the US.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Hyundai is also involved with Kia, which is launching its own series of electric vehicles on the same platform starting with the Kia EV6.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\">\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\"><em>FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> Blackberries.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Subscribe to Electrek on YouTube for exclusive videos and subscribe to the podcast.<!-- youtube embed --><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"ast-oembed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wheel-E Podcast!
