The I-77 Corridor is at the center of the manufacturing boom for both EVs themselves and the electric vehicle supply industry (EVSI) that is sweeping the globe.
As a center among a diversified manufacturing base with an exploding presence in the electric vehicles (EV) and Energy Storage industry, the Corridor continues to be a place to grow.
Volkswagen’s new spinoff, Scout Motors, is building a $2 billion facility in Blythewood, South Carolina, just north of Columbia. This massive project will create over 4,000 jobs and produce up to 200,000 electric SUVs and pickups annually, starting in 2026.
Keep up with this exciting development as Scout brings the iconic brand back to life, right here in the Alliance region.
