TMMK (Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky) has an $8B plant in Kentucky, the largest Toyota manufacturing facility in the world. This plant is where all Camry models are manufactured, which is the best-selling car in the United States. Additionally, all Rav4 Hybrid models are manufactured there, including all the motors (not just assembly).

Seems like a smart place to build your own batteries to me.

#44 in income. That's the real reason to put a factory there. And it's a good reason why EV adoption would be low there as well.
