General Motors Co. and LG Energy Solution are investing $275 million at their Tennessee Ultium Cells LLC joint-venture battery plant to increase cell production there when it opens in late 2023, the company announced Friday.

Leaders from both companies made the Spring Hill expansion announcement in Nashville with Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee.

The additional investment is on top of the $2.3 billion initial investment GM and LG announced in 2021. The expansion will add 400 jobs to the 1,300 previously anticipated for the plant.
