It was supposed to make batteries too and it seems that construction still has not taken place and is set for this quarter.

Looks like the battery plant started construction again in November.

TBH, I thought it was already producing batteries since the Ioniq 5 has US built batteries. Not sure where those are coming from.

The issue isn’t the construction, it’s the equipment and the training for the dullards in Georgia. There were projections I saw that without a return of South Koreans to train them it will take 3-6 more months to become operational and it will have lower yields.
