  • California has long led the way on electric vehicles, but another Western state is challenging the Golden State's top spot. Between July and September, nearly 25 percent of the vehicles registered in Colorado were electric or plug-in hybrids.

The article from Yahoo News discusses how Georgia is emerging as a significant player in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, potentially rivaling California's longstanding leadership in this sector. Georgia has attracted major investments from companies like Rivian, which plans to build a $5 billion EV plant, and Hyundai, which is investing $5.5 billion in a new facility. These investments are part of a broader trend where Southern states are becoming hubs for EV manufacturing due to lower costs, supportive legislation, and incentives. The state's efforts are bolstered by its business-friendly environment, workforce development programs, and infrastructure improvements aimed at supporting EV production and adoption. This shift is not only about manufacturing but also involves building a comprehensive EV ecosystem, including battery production and recycling, positioning Georgia as a key player in the future of automotive technology.
