Two U.S. states ― Ohio and Texas ― are emerging as the candidates to house SK Innovation's (SKI) battery joint venture with Ford Motor, with Ohio gaining a slight edge over Texas, two sources told The Korea Times, Sunday.
A few weeks ago, SKI and Ford said they signed a memorandum of understanding for a battery joint venture that would be called "BlueOvalSK." Production of battery cells as well as support modules is set to start by 2025, according to the companies.
