From PC Mag: Panasonic Energy has gained the required approval to build an electric vehicle battery manufacturing facility in Kansas.

"As the largest private investment in Kansas history and one of the largest EV battery manufacturing plants of its kind in the country, this project will be transformative for our state's economy, providing in total 8,000 high-quality jobs that will help more Kansans create better lives for themselves and their children," Kansas Governor Laura Kelly said in a statement.
