As the world transitions to electric vehicles (EVs), the United States is facing a critical challenge: scaling up domestic production to meet growing demand. Despite the Biden administration's ambitious goals to electrify the nation's fleet, the country's EV manufacturing capabilities lag behind those of China and other global leaders. In a new report, experts argue that several barriers are hindering the growth of domestic EV production, from lack of investment in manufacturing infrastructure to regulatory hurdles and a shortage of skilled workers. With the US aiming to produce millions of EVs annually, policymakers and industry leaders must work together to overcome these obstacles and establish the country as a major player in the global EV market.
