SEOUL: Volkswagen and Ford says a US legal row between South Korean battery makers could disrupt supplies of the key electric vehicle parts and cost US jobs during the Covid-19 outbreak, according to documents submitted to a US trade panel.
The two automakers asked the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) to allow SK Innovation to manufacture batteries at its proposed US factory in Georgia for use in Ford’s fully electric F-150 and other electric cars, the statements seen by Reuters showed.
