U.S. GOVERNMENT SCRAMBLING TO FINALIZE EV PLANT CONVERSION GRANTS

By George Barta

The Biden Administration announced in July that the Department of Energy will
provide $1.7 billion in grants to automakers and suppliers to support the
transition to all-electric vehicles. A big chunk of that $1.7 billion investment
was a $500 million grant for the GM Lansing Grand River factory. With the
possibility of a second Trump administration on the horizon cutting back on
federal investment in EV manufacturing, the Energy Department is scrambling to
finalize the grants while Biden is still in the White House.



“We are working as fast as we can to finalize as much as we can – to get the
commitments in contract with all of those who have been selected,” U.S. Energy
Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in an interview with Reuters. “We have a few
months to make sure that we’re doing that.”

“There’s a whole array of considerations with respect to [the delay], and we are
in conversation about it,” Granholm said when asked about the delay in the grant
money coming through. A GM spokesperson said it is “still in the negotiation
phase of the grant” and declined to forecast what might happen if the grant was
not approved.



Granholm emphasized that government has a key role in keeping the American auto
sector competitive in the global economy. “America’s automakers are in this
amazing race to dominate this industry and to ensure that as EVs take over the
global market, places like Detroit aren’t just keeping up but setting the pace,”
she said.

The Biden administration is helping automakers “cut costs and secure supply
chains and innovate new technologies and help [American automakers] be globally
competitive,” said Granholm. “We are not just bringing a knife to a gunfight. We
are bringing an armada now.”



Currently, the Lansing Grand River plant builds the Cadillac CT4 and Cadillac
CT5 sedans, which are based on the Alpha platform. Before it was discontinued,
it produced the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro. As production of the aging Alpha
platform dials back, as we’ve seen with the Camaro’s discontinuation, the GM
Lansing Grand River plant is expected to produce GM BEV Prime vehicles,
including the Chevy Corvette EV and various all-electric Cadillac sedans.
