Secretary Granholm announces funding to local workforces entering EV production in six states.
The Department of Energy (DOE) distributed $50 million to six states under the Domestic Automotive Manufacturing Conversion Grant program to support small- and medium-sized automotive manufacturers’ expansion into the electric vehicles (EV) sector. The funding will facilitate significant automotive workforces to help small- and medium-sized suppliers adapt manufacturing facilities for the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Illinois.
“By helping states and manufacturers navigate the emerging EV manufacturing industry, today’s announcements will help ensure the workforces that defined America’s auto sector for the last 100 years will have the opportunity to shape the next 100 years,” said Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.
Applications for the funding will be accepted through October 15.
