A | DETROIT -- Jeep maker Stellantis says it will build a second electric vehicle battery factory in Kokomo, Indiana, that will create 1,400 new jobs.The $3.2 billion joint venture plant with South Korea's Samsung SDI is to start production early in 2027.Construction already is underway on the companies' first joint venture factory in Kokomo, which is scheduled to open early in 2025. That $3.1 billion plant announced in May of 2022 also is expected to create about 1,400 new jobs.The city of Kokomo, which is about 60 miles (97 kilometers) north of Indianapolis, made a compelling case to locate the second factory there, Stellantis Chief Operating Officer for North America Mark Stewart said in a statement early Wednesday. Samsung SDI CEO Yoon-ho Choi said Kokomo will be the company's largest production base for electric vehicle batteries in North America. He says it will help Stellantis accelerate a transition to a new era of EVs.“Today’s commitment from Stellantis and Samsung SDI will double the capital investment, the new jobs created, and the impact this joint venture will have on Kokomo and the state of Indiana for decades to come," Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb said in a statement. Stellantis, the world’s fourth-largest automaker, has announced plans to sell 5 million electric vehicles by 2030, with 50% of its North American passenger car and light truck sales going fully electric by 2030. Stellantis also plans a joint-venture battery plant across the border in Windsor, Ontario. The company was formed in 2021 with the merger of Fiat Chrysler and France’s PSA Peugeot.Indiana offered an incentive package of up to about $186.5 million in conditional tax credits, training grants and investments for the first Kokomo battery factory. The money would offset the costs of the plant’s infrastructure, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation said.In 2021 the company announced plans to spend nearly $230 million to retool three Kokomo-area factories so they can produce transmission systems that work with both traditional gasoline-powered vehicles and gas-electric hybrid versions.Eleven U.S. EV battery plants proposed by Detroit automakers have become a central issue in contract talks with the United Auto Workers that have led to 3-week-old strikes against the companies.Union President Shawn Fain wants the 11 plants proposed by Stellantis, Ford and General Motors to be represented by the union and for workers there to make top assembly plant wages because they’re the future of the auto industry.Most of the plants are joint ventures with South Korean battery makers.Last week General Motors made a breakthrough concession by agreeing to pull its three joint venture plants into the union’s national contract with the automaker, essentially agreeing to unionize them.So far, neither Ford nor Stellantis has agreed to the change. The companies have said they don’t want to increase their battery costs to the point where their electric vehicles have to be priced higher than Tesla or foreign automakers with U.S. factories.。 4月24日，海南省澄迈县就“海南3个小孩被锁家里”发布情况通报。 “澄迈新闻”微信公众号4月24日晚间发布《关于“海南3个小孩被锁家里”的情况通报》，通报全文如下： 关注到“海南3个小孩被锁家里”相关视频后，澄迈县立即组织政法委、民政、妇联和属地镇政府等相关单位到当地小孩家中了解情况并及时处理，现将相关情况通报如下： 据了解，林某某与丈夫邓某某共生育5个小孩（3女2男）。邓某某目前在服刑，其2个小孩由邓某某弟弟照顾，在当地上小学；林某某在娘家抚养另外3个年幼小孩，并在当地务工，因无人照管，务工期间将3个年幼小孩留在家中，点外卖提供餐食。 针对林某某家庭情况，其所在村委会日前已协助申请低保和临时救助。当地镇政府已安排3个小孩进行体检，检查结果健康，并组织人员做好清洁卫生、修复水电和提供生活用品。 下一步，相关部门将解决林某某抚养的3个小孩就学、托管及其就近就业问题，方便林某某照顾小孩。县妇联对林某某进行心理辅导并加强走访，确保其照料小孩问题得到妥善解决。 在此，感谢广大网民朋友的关心关注，我县已部署开展类似情况排查。由于该视频信息内容涉及未成年人，为呵护其成长，请广大网民和媒体朋友保护其隐私、不打扰其生活。微信公众号“澄迈新闻”截图 此前报道 4月23日，海南省澄迈县。
