As President Joe Biden visits the new Ford F-150 “Lightning” manufacturing plant in Dearborn today, business leaders in the Great Lakes State are spotlighting the importance of electrification and the infrastructure behind it.
Ned Staebler, CEO of TechTown Detroit, said as more auto manufacturers like Ford electrify popular and affordable vehicles, Michigan will continue to lead the transition away from internal-combustion vehicles.
He noted investing in supporting infrastructure is also key.
“The number one fear that people have about electric vehicles is range anxiety, so continuing to invest in charging infrastructure is incredibly important,” Staebler asserted.
He added Biden’s American Jobs Plan would revitalize manufacturing and create more jobs in the clean-energy economy.
