Subaru Corp. is close to deciding where to build its EV plant in the US, an initiative that’s a key element of its electrification strategy, the Japanese carmaker’s president said.

While the current base of Indiana is a top candidate, the company is considering the location based on the procurement of onboard batteries and incentives from state governments, Atsushi Osaki said in a group interview. “The time is approaching for us to finally make a decision,” he said.
