Why it matters
The automotive context.
America's auto industry is mid-transition to electrification. Major OEM and supplier investments are reshaping the historic Midwest-to-Southeast "auto alley" and creating an emerging "battery belt" across the Southeast. Plant-level employment is typically smaller than the 1980s assembly plants of the same footprint, but capital-per-vehicle is significantly higher.
