Electric car manufacturers including Tesla Motors Inc. and Nissan Motor Co. have been building up production lines in Ohio, where manufacturing is booming thanks to a $1.8 billion tax rebate in the state.
Tesla Motors and Nissan are building production lines for the Model 3 electric car, while Honda Motor Co., Toyota Motor Corp., Hyundai Motor Co and Volkswagen AG are also manufacturing electric cars in Ohio.
Electric car makers have been ramping up production in Ohio since 2014, when Gov.
John Kasich signed legislation authorizing the state to create a tax incentive to boost the state’s manufacturing industry.
