Bosch to Invest $1.9 Billion in California Semiconductor Plant with Federal Support

The German company secures up to $225 million in CHIPS Act funding to produce silicon carbide chips for electric vehicles by 2026.

Bosch has signed a preliminary agreement with the U.S. Commerce Department for up to $225 million in funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to upgrade its Roseville, California facility.
The company plans to invest $1.9 billion to transform the plant into a production hub for silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors, critical to electric vehicle efficiency and clean energy technologies.
The project is expected to create up to 1,700 jobs, including 1,000 construction jobs and 700 roles in manufacturing, engineering, and research and development.
Once operational in 2026, the Roseville facility could account for over 40% of U.S.-based SiC device manufacturing capacity, boosting domestic semiconductor production.
The funding aligns with the CHIPS Act's goals of strengthening U.S. supply chains, advancing clean mobility, and fostering economic growth in key industries.
