Ford and SK On's confirmed $5.8 billion twin-plant battery park in Hardin County, where production began in August 2025. A December 2025 restructuring pivoted the plant from EV batteries toward energy-storage-system (BESS) production amid shifting EV demand, cutting the planned workforce from an original 5,000 target to roughly 2,100.
