Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Deputy Gov. and Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter and LEV (Light Electric Vehicles) Manufacturing officials announced today the company will establish its first Tennessee facility in Putnam County to serve as its primary U.S. assembly, logistics and fulfillment center.

LEV Manufacturing, part of the Life EV Group, will create 288 jobs and invest $7 million in Algood, Tennessee, as the company acquires a 100,000 square-foot production and distribution facility at 2415 Burton Branch Road. The location will become a central hub for the distribution and new assembly of Rad Power Bikes products following Life EV Group’s recent acquisition of Rad Power Bikes’ assets.

The new facility is expected to play a key role in supporting the company’s multi-brand platform and a U.S. based manufacturing strategy, including partnerships with Tennessee’s research institutions to better support product innovation, battery technology, advanced manufacturing processes and workforce development initiatives.

Congratulations, Algood!
