The company says the plant in Bibb County opened a few months before it plans to start making two all-electric SUVs at its manufacturing plant in Vance, which is close to Tuscaloosa.
Mercedes says the new battery plant will make cells for the EQS and EQE SUVs, which will be built for sale in the U.S. and for exports. The automaker says it spent about $1 billion on the battery plant and to upgrade the assembly line in Vance to make electric vehicles.
