Recovery Act Funding Opportunities
President Barack Obama announced on March 19 that the DOE is offering up to $2.4 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to support next-generation plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and their advanced battery components. Of the $2.4 billion, $1.5 billion in grants will go to U.S. manufacturers to produce high-efficiency batteries and their components; $500 million in grants will go to U.S. manufacturers to produce other components needed for electric vehicles, such as electric motors; and $400 million will go towards projects that demonstrate and evaluate plug-in hybrids and other electric infrastructure concepts. When these PHEVs are offered for sale, U.S. residents who purchase them will be able to claim a tax credit of up to $7,500. Building a PHEV industry in the United States will create tens of thousands of jobs and will reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil.
