South Korea’s second-largest conglomerate plans to redevelop a Plano, Texas building into a new EV charger manufacturing facility that will create up to 183 jobs by 2026.
SK Signet expects the project to produce the first U.S.-made ultra-fast chargers above 350 kilowatts. The company is planning for the 136,200-square-foot facility to be operating at full capacity by July 2023, producing more than 10,000 EV fast chargers a year.
This will be the company’s first U.S. manufacturing facility, which will be supported by its existing U.S. office in McLean, Va. SK Signet hopes its products will help EVs become more mainstream in America, SK Signet CEO Jung Ho Shin said in the announcement.
