Hyundai battery plant faces startup delay after US immigration raid, CEO says


The plant, part of a $7.6 billion factory complex to make battery-powered models, was slated to come online later this year.

The Georgia plant, which is operated through a joint venture between Hyundai and South Korea's LG Energy Solution, was at the center of the largest single-site enforcement operation in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's history last week. Munoz, in his first public comments since the raid, said he was surprised when he heard the news and immediately inquired if Hyundai workers were involved. He said the company discovered that the workers at the center of the raid were mainly employed by suppliers of LG.
