Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, UAW President Ray Curry, EPA chief Michael Regan, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Michigan Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell and Sen. Debbie Stabenow also delivered remarks.
Biden touted his administration’s efforts to boost domestic EV manufacturing, investment and jobs to position the U.S. as a leader and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
The president also said his administration has approved funding for 33 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, to build their own EV charging infrastructure through a funding program in the infrastructure law.
“All told, my administration is investing more than $135 billion to advance America’s electric vehicle future,” Biden said. “Our infrastructure law is also helping to make it in America and win the economic race of the 21st century.”
