US House Lawmakers Introduce EV Tech Bill

Legislation designed to promote research and development programs for vehicle technologies at the U.S. Department of Energy was recently introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Shifting Forward Vehicle Technologies Research and Development Act, which aims to ensure domestic competitiveness in the electric vehicles industry, was sponsored by Michigan Democratic Reps. Haley Stevens and Debbie Dingell.

“The future of America’s auto industry and Michigan’s economy depends on our nation’s ability to compete in the global transition to clean transportation,” Stevens said Sept. 28, emphasizing provisions related to vehicle fueling and energy storage, as well as workforce development. She is the chairwoman of the Research and Technology Subcommittee.
