China's CATL, the world's largest EV battery maker, is reportedly in advanced talks to pick a site for its first electric vehicle battery plant in the United States.
The company is in the final stages of vetting US sites, two people familiar with the plans told Reuters. The sources said CATL is in talks to open plants that would serve BMW Group and Ford Motor Company, with potential sites including South Carolina and Kentucky, where the automakers have assembly plants.
