Washington, D.C.<\/strong> \u2014 Today, U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff celebrated the announcement of Rivian\u2019s new electric vehicle plant in Georgia, which follows an Ossoff-brokered settlement<\/a> that saved the $2.6 billion electric vehicle battery plant in Commerce, Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rivian plant supports Georgia\u2019s rapid growth as a leading producer of renewable energy technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgia also hosts the Hanwha Q Cells solar manufacturing plant in Dalton, the largest solar module manufacturing plant in the Western Hemisphere. Sen. Ossoff is leading Senate efforts<\/a> to boost American solar manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy vision is that Georgia should lead the nation in renewable energy, and today\u2019s announcement is a huge step forward,\u201d Sen. Ossoff said.<\/strong> \u201cI thank our state\u2019s leaders for working collaboratively to attract this investment and look forward to hosting Rivian and the thousands of jobs that will be created to produce Georgia-made electric vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRivian appreciates Senator Ossoff’s commitment to making Georgia a leader in clean energy and his support of Rivian’s mission of Keeping the World Adventurous Forever. We look forward to continued collaboration with Senator Ossoff on comprehensive national policies to advance electric vehicles,\u201d said James Chen, Vice President of Public Policy and Chief Regulatory Counsel at Rivian.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ossoff continues leading the push to accelerate the transition to renewable energy by investing in renewable energy technology, boosting domestic solar manufacturing, and lowering electric bills for families by making it more affordable to install energy-efficient home technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the bipartisan infrastructure bill, Sen. Ossoff secured over $130 million to begin construction of an electric vehicle charging network across the state of Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
