WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is awarding nearly $2 billion in grants to help restart or expand electric vehicle manufacturing and assembly sites in eight states, including Michigan. The Energy Department will issue grants totaling $1.7 billion to create or retain thousands of union jobs and support auto-based communities.  The grants cover a broad range of the automotive supply chain, including electric motorcycles and school buses, hybrid powertrains, heavy-duty commercial truck batteries and electric SUVs. The 2022 climate law pays for the grants.
