Dearborn,
May 10, 2021
DEARBORN, MI - Today, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement as Governor Whitmer recently announced grants for 88 electric vehicle charging sites across Michigan to expand the statewide network: “It’s critical that the United States accelerates the deployment of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure to remain on the forefront of innovation and global competitiveness. Michigan’s commitment to the expansion of charging sites is a great start, but we need strong federal leadership and investments to continue building even further on these efforts if electric vehicles are going to take hold as the vehicles of the future. Investing in both electric vehicles and charging stations nationwide will help create jobs, reduce costs, and decarbonize the economy, while decreasing range anxiety and improving accessibility to all communities long-term.”
