LG Chem to invest over $3 billion to build U.S. battery cathode plant
SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's LG Chem Ltd said on Tuesday it will invest more than $3 billion to build a battery cathode factory in Tennessee, as it ramps up plans to meet rising demand for U.S. electric vehicle components. It's one of the first major EV-related investments announced by a South Korean firm in the United States since a new U.S. law was passed in August that puts automakers and battery suppliers relying heavily on China for sourcing at a cost disadvantage. Mass production is set to start in the second half of 2025 and the plant will create more than 850 jobs, LG Chem said in a statement.

UPDATE 2-S.Korea's LGES raises revenue outlook as battery order backlog rises
Tesla Inc supplier LG Energy Solution Ltd (LGES) upped revenue guidance by 14% on Wednesday in the year's second such change, after quarterly profit beat forecasts on strong demand from car makers and a weak local currency.
