South Korean automaker Kia will spend $200 million on its West Point, Georgia, facility to begin production of an electric-powered SUV, the company said Wednesday.
The investment comes even as Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Hyundai complain that federal electric vehicle tax credits are unfair to the South Korean manufacturer because its vehicles are only eligible if they are leased.
According to the Kia website, Georgia will pay to train workers for the Kia expansion, with starting pay for productionbeginning at a salary of $38,000 a year. The jobs will also come with pay raises and extra pay for working evening shifts.
