ZETA Emphasizes Importance Of Supporting The Domestic EV Supply Chain Following Tariff Announcement

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Zero Emission Transportation Association’s Executive Director Albert Gore issued the following statement in response to the Biden-Harris Administration’s announcement of new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles today.

“The EV industry remains dedicated to developing a robust, resilient, and sustainable supply chain in the United States. During the past few years, more than $173 billion in private investment has been announced to retool existing facilities and build new manufacturing hubs around the country, due in part to thoughtful domestic industrial policy. This investment has contributed to 241,000 announced American jobs in the sector so far. Further, of the top six most American-made cars on the market today, five are electric vehicles—and a staggering 74% of the EVs sold in the US last year were made in America.

“Electric vehicles are the future of transportation, and we welcome the Administration’s commitment to ensuring that this future remains Made in America.”
