Four years after Gov. Andy Beshear announced the largest economic development project in Kentucky history, the first electric vehicle battery rolled off the assembly line Tuesday morning at the BlueOval SK campus in Hardin County.

The quietness in the Hardin Co. town of Glendale is interrupted a few times a day as the main CSX train line from Louisville to Nashville rolls through town. A much bigger disruption is happening a few miles up the road just off Interstate 65 where the world’s largest electric vehicle battery plant is under construction.

The largest electric vehicle battery plant in the world is taking shape in Kentucky. Gov. Andy Beshear toured the construction site on Wednesday for a pair of factories that will produce EV batteries for Ford and Lincoln vehicles.

Hiring is underway to fill 5,000 jobs at two mega factories in Hardin County that will produce batteries for electric vehicles. BlueOval SK has created a website to accept applications.
