The Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) is issuing this Administrative and Legal Requirements Document (ALRD). Awards made under this ALRD will be funded, in whole or in part, with funds appropriated by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
IRA Section 50143 appropriated $2 billion to provide grants for domestic production of efficient hybrid, plug-in electric hybrid, plug-in electric drive, and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, in accordance with Section 712 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. That section established the domestic manufacturing conversion grant program to provide grants and loan guarantees to clean vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, including component manufacturers. Section 712 states that “priority shall be given to the refurbishment and retooling of manufacturing facilities that have recently ceased operation or will cease operation in the near future.”
Under this ALRD, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is partnering with states to make funds available to eligible small and medium manufacturers to accelerate the growth of domestic production capabilities for electric vehicles and components.
