Federal Investment in EV Infrastructure
Martha Today, President Biden is announcing his infrastructure initiative in Pittsburgh, PA. The Administration's plan is expected to propose $174 billion in new federal investment in battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs), representing the future of American mobility and the push for clean, renewable energy in transportation that reduces carbon emissions. We'd like to share the Responsible Battery Coalition's (RBC) comment on the President's infrastructure proposal: "The Responsible Battery Coalition applauds the Biden Administration's efforts to expand the integration of battery-powered electric vehicles across the U.S., including infrastructure investments and new consumer incentives, and for recognizing the need for sustainable battery recycling programs to conserve resources and protect the environment." - Steve Christensen, Executive Director of the Responsible Battery Coalition EVs currently only represent 1 percent of the entire U.S. fleet. However, as the EV market increases, public interest in the batteries that power them is growing too. As you cover the impact of the Administration's EV proposals, we'd love to connect you with a subject matter expert from the Responsible Battery Coalition’s who can speak to: - Comprehensive ways to strengthen research and development of transportation technologies - Reducing our reliance on foreign countries like China on battery materials - Increasing U.S. battery and materials manufacturing - Decreasing emissions - Battery recycling and battery maintenance best practices The RBC is the premiere coalition of major stakeholders in battery manufacturing and battery use sectors, that works to identify opportunities to accelerate the development of recycling and circular supply chains for future battery chemistries. Look forward to hearing from you, *LIZZY DEMAREE* Account Manager (C) 202-603-6755 www.nahigianstrategies.com *confidential and deliberative communication*
