据今日油价网站3月11日消息 乐金化学（LG Chem）准备在未来五年内投资45亿美元，扩大美国的电池产能。
据Bloomberg Green报道，乐金化学在周四的一封电子邮件中表示，公司不仅将投入45亿美元用于电池产能扩张，还将雇佣1万名工人。
该公司去年制定了这一计划，以应对电动汽车需求的增长和拜登总统雄心勃勃的绿色政策。
几家汽车制造商正计划给他们的车队通电。福特和通用汽车誓言至少到2030年在欧洲实现全电动化。捷豹也计划到2025年成为全电动汽车制造商。
大量投资于电动汽车和电动汽车技术的公司由于政策对电动汽车行业的支持，在美国的市场上更加大胆，所有迹象都表明这一趋势仍在继续，但由于半导体短缺，汽车制造商争先恐后地抢购市场上现有的半导体产品，这一趋势暂时放缓。
LG能源解决方案公司首席执行官Jong Hyun Kim在向彭博社发表的声明中表示：“美国总统和汽车制造商的目标将成为推动该国电动汽车和储能系统市场增长的一个因素。”
通用汽车和LG希望在未来三年内斥资23亿美元组建一家合资企业Ultium Cells，该公司将在俄亥俄州洛德斯顿生产电动车用电池。
现在，通用和LG希望在美国其他地方建立一个类似的工厂，并将田纳西州的斯普林希尔作为可能的地点。合资公司希望在今年上半年就第二个工厂作出决定。

Several automakers are planning to electrify their fleet of vehicles. Ford and GM have vowed to go all electric—at least in Europe—by 2030. Jaguar, too, has plans to become an all electric car manufacturer by 2025.
Companies heavily invested in EVs and EV tech have been emboldened in the United State’s by President Biden’s support for the electric vehicle industry—and all signs point to this trend continuing, but has been temporarily slows by a semiconductor shortage that has automakers scrambling to get their hands “The goals of the U.S.and automakers will be a propelling factor in the growth of the country’s electric vehicle and energy storage systems markets,” Jong Hyun Kim, chief executive officer of LG Energy Solution, said in the statement to Bloomberg.
GM and LG are looking to spend $2.3 billion over the next three years to form a joint venture, Ultium Cells LLC, that will produce battery cells in Lordstown, Ohio, for electric vehicles.
Now, GM and LG are hoping to build a similar plant elsewhere in the United States—and has looked at Spring Hill, Tennessee, as a possible site. The JV hopes to make a decision on the second plant in the first half of this year.
