On Thursday, an Ultium Cells LLC spokeswoman said the company is considering a new location for a fourth U.S. battery cell manufacturing plant. 

According to Reuters, the General Motors and LG Energy Solution joint venture is considering New Carlisle, Indiana for the new factory. 

The company filed a tax abatement application that could be approved this month. 

It's unclear when the plant would open. 

But it would be an investment of more than $2 billion, similar to Ultium’s other EV battery plants. 

The $2.6 billion battery cell plant in Lansing, Michigan is scheduled to open in 2024. 

Another $2.3 billion plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee will be finished in 2023.

And Ultium's first $2.3 billion plant in Warren, Ohio, will begin production this month.
