Ice ICE, baby
The Biden administration's electric vehicle ambitions are getting another boost, this time in the form of $1.7 billion in public funding to convert 11 at-risk and shuttered auto manufacturing plants into electric vehicle factories.
Blue Bird Body Company, which builds school buses in Georgia, will be converting an ICE vehicle manufacturing facility into an electric school bus plant, while engine maker Cummins will be upgrading portions of its Columbus, Ohio facility to crank out zero-emissions components and electric powertrain systems.
We'd be remiss not to mention the fact that several of the projects announced today are in locations considered hotly contested battleground states in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, in particular, are all considered critical to the upcoming electoral contest.
Valdez Streaty said that there's been progress in EV infrastructure expansion, but it's been slow. Public-private partnerships have also emerged to speed things up, and she predicts"significant growth of EV charging stations" in the next few years.
