Toyota has announced its investment in a battery plant in the Carolinas. Toyota announced plans on Tuesday that would involve investing close to $8 billion in its North Carolina-based battery plant. That means thousands of new jobs will be coming to North Carolina.
WFMY-TV says, approximately three thousand jobs would be added to the Toyota Battery Manufacturing North Carolina with this investment. The expansion would help support Toyota's work with hybrid plug-in and battery-electric vehicles.
Toyota is working with area colleges to start programs to teach students how to become battery manufacturers.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper told WFMY, “Through the last few years of building relationships, including my most recent trip to Tokyo and meeting with President Sato, our partnership with Toyota has become stronger than ever, culminating in this historic announcement. North Carolina’s transition to a clean energy economy is bringing better paying jobs that will support our families and communities for decades to come.”
These thousands of jobs are now heading to Liberty, North Carolina. Toyota had already invested billions in the plant. This extra investment adds to thousands of jobs already predicted for the plant.
Whether you are a fan of electric vehicles or not this is good news. Thousands of new jobs with Toyota are coming to North Carolina. I would also assume they will be pretty good-paying jobs.
The problem I see is still the lack of charging stations. I don't know how long it will take to upgrade the infrastructure of this country to accommodate the new electric vehicles.
Multiple Carolina Cities the Best for Budget Friendly, Solo Travel
Are you a person that enjoys traveling alone? Well, if you are then you are not alone. Many people who do enjoy traveling would also rather travel alone. Not only do they enjoy the group trips, but that time to experience a place alone with no one else to interfere can be even better. I am one person who enjoys alone time. From alone time in the house to running errands solo, it can all be a form of therapy for me. But, solo traveling can be just as good as well!

Corolla, North Carolina
Now, we're coming up to North Carolina and heading to a spot I have personally never heard of. But, also on the list is Corolla, North Carolina. Not sure where it is? No worries, I wasn't sure at first either. Corolla is located in the Outer Banks area of North Carolina and I must say as someone who has been to the Outer Banks, I could totally see this on the list. The average cost per night for a trip to Corolla is about $120 per night which is pretty cheap compared to other cities. You are also near the beach area when in the Outer Banks, great seafood options, and experiences like Kill Devil Hills, the lighthouse, and more. I have personally experienced the Outer Banks area with a significant other and I could see myself enjoying it all over again, but solo.
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Taking a trip back down south and so far this list is basically telling us that the beach towns are the best for solo travel. Now, we're discussing Hilton Head Island down in South Carolina. Hilton Head is a bit more expensive than the Outer Banks with the average cost for lodging per night about $155 per night. You can visit Hilton Head Island not only in the warm months, but it's a great getaway destination all year long. The food is amazing, the shopping is great, and you also have the chance to experience some outdoor fun. Hilton Head Island offers the chance for you to pick up on your golfing skills, tennis skills, or relax at a spa nearby.
Hatteras Island, North Carolina
Back to North Carolina we go. This time, we're looking into Hatteras Island, North Carolina. The island is the perfect spot for you to visit solo, especially during the months of March - May or September and November. For about $200 a night, you can enjoy a relaxing solo vacation on the island. The laid back, beachy vibe is perfect for the one that wants to lay out in the sun, go fishing, paddling, surfing, and many other water/outdoor activities. If you have seen all of these then I am sure a solo beach trip is the way you would want to go!
