From Transport Evolved.

While many traditional automakers have happily operated local production facilities in many markets around the world for respective local customers, not all EVs today are made locally – instead, they’re often shipped from half-a-world away.

Thankfully, that’s changing, but not quickly enough – and with changes in production methods, and more automation than ever before, we think a future of smaller, localized production for EVs is finally within reach.
