Tesla Inc. is expected to announce an investment in Mexico very soon as the country works to expand infrastructure and renewable energy supply to take advantage of a boom in companies relocating, Foreign Affairs Minister Marcelo Ebrard said.

The Mexican government has been working with the carmaker led by billionaire Elon Musk to help it find a location to set up a plant in the country and the company has seen several locations, Ebrard said, declining to give details of the project.
