The transition toward complete electrification in the global car industry has been accelerating in tandem with the tug of war between the US and China to lead in this fast-growing industry, amid deteriorating climate change concerns.In response to the worsening trade relations with China, the US has diversified its supply chain for EV components, including batteries, attracting manufacturing facilities to its soil.Against this backdrop, experts believe that now is the opportune time to leverage the EV momentum generated in the US thanks to newly implemented promotional laws for renewable energy.“The US Department of Energy has over $62 billion for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, plus additional funds for the Inflation Reduction Act,” said Elke Hodson, Deputy Director of Technology Policy at the DOE, at a conference held by The Miilk on Sept. 14 (Korea Time).“There’s a strong emphasis on ensuring that these investments truly make a difference in helping us reach our greenhouse gas goals,” she added.Through the BIL and IRA, the US government plans to invest over $430 billion in the nation's energy system for at least the next decade, aiming to provide long-term stability for domestic clean energy producers, manufacturers, and investors.Recent federal investments in the domestic energy sector are unlocking opportunities for workers and communities, making the clean energy transition profitable, beneficial, and more equitable for US businesses, workers, and communities, as she explained.
