Ohio Receives Grants to Boost EV Manufacturing and Assembly

The Biden administration is awarding nearly $2 billion in EV grants

The Biden administration is awarding nearly $2 billion in grants to General Motors, Fiat Chrysler and other carmakers to help restart or expand electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing and assembly sites in eight states, including the presidential battlegrounds of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

The Energy Department will issue grants totaling $1.7 billion to create or retain thousands of union jobs and support auto-based communities that have long driven the U.S. economy, the White House said Thursday. Besides the three battleground states, grants also will go to EV facilities in Ohio, Maryland, Illinois, Indiana and Virginia.

The grants cover a broad range of the automotive supply chain, including parts for electric motorcycles and school buses, hybrid powertrains, heavy-duty commercial truck batteries and electric SUVs, the White House said.
