2. Hyundai showcased its latest electric car, the IONIQ 6, in downtown Savannah, with plans to potentially produce it at its new plant, which aims to be fully operational by 2025. Nearby Bryan County is set to house Hyundai's $5.5 billion electric vehicle plant, which is currently under construction and expected to start production in the next few years. The plant, located on a nearly 3,000-acre site will create over 8,000 new jobs and provide an economic boost to the surrounding counties. (WSAV 3)
