The partnership also highlights South Carolina’s growing role in the EV space. Redwood is building one of the country’s largest battery materials campuses in Charleston, while Isuzu recently announced plans for a new vehicle production site in Greenville County. Both companies are making long-term commitments to help develop a sustainable, domestically integrated EV supply chain.
