Bomb Threat Halts BlueOvalSK Factory Construction in Kentucky [TheGuru=Yerin Jung] The construction site of BlueOval SK, an electric vehicle battery joint venture between SK Energy and Ford, has been suspended due to a bomb threat. No one was injured and the company is cooperating with law enforcement authorities to investigate. At 12:30 p.m. (local time) today, BlueOval SK announced that it confirmed a bomb threat at its Glendale, Hardin County factory construction site and evacuated all employees. Police are currently searching the facility with a bomb squad. The threatster left a note on an inspection sheet in a portable restroom at the construction site stating that the "bomb will go off at 1:00 p.m." So far, no explosives have been found other than the note. As the investigation is ongoing, it is unclear when construction will resume at BlueOval SK. The government and police authorities say they will abide by BlueOval SK's decision. "Safety is our top priority at BlueOval SK," said a BlueOval SK spokesperson, "We have evacuated the site to ensure the safety of all workers." BlueOval SK is building two factories in Glendale, Kentucky, each with an annual capacity of 43 GWh. The batteries will power Ford and Lincoln's next-generation electric vehicles.

In October of last year, the company announced it would delay the start of the second plant. The delay comes as joint venture partner Ford is rebalancing its investment plans amid slowing demand for electric vehicles. The company did not disclose when the new production will start...
