Michigan is receiving $70 million in grants from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support the transition to electric vehicles.

Overall, Michigan has secured more than $150 million through Charge Up Michigan and the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support the transition to EVs.

The approved grants are as follows:

    • A $60 million grant for research and development focused on EV batteries and charging systems, focusing on developing advanced technologies that will boost the performance and manufacturing capabilities of batteries.
