Overview
- The Liberty, North Carolina, facility is Toyota’s first battery plant outside Japan and its 11th U.S. factory.
- Three of 14 planned lines are running with a fourth being installed, and the site is already shipping hybrid modules to Toyota Kentucky and Mazda Toyota Manufacturing in Alabama.
- The 1,850-acre campus targets 30 GWh of annual output and up to 5,100 jobs at full build, with vertically integrated electrode, cell, formation and module production on one site.
- Initial batteries support Camry, Corolla Cross and RAV4 hybrids, with future lines slated for plug‑in hybrids and a yet‑to‑be‑announced three‑row BEV to be built in the U.S.
- Toyota committed up to $10 billion more in U.S. spending over five years, bringing total U.S. investment near $60 billion and backing workforce and community initiatives, including a $2.7 million STEM grant.
