LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Although electric vehicle demand appears to be stalling, Michigan continues to invest in EV infrastructure.

On Thursday, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) announced that $1.84 million has been invested into 201 new EV charging stations in the state.

The investment is the first of two funding rounds of the 2024 Clean Fuel and Charging Infrastructure Program, which aims to invest $30 million into EV infrastructure projects over the next three years. The program’s first two funding rounds have been distributed to multifamily housing units like apartments.

This comes one week after General Motors laid off 1,700 workers who build electric vehicles at plants in Michigan and Ohio, according to the Associated Press.

GM told AP that the cuts were due to slowing demand for electric vehicles and a difficult regulatory environment, referring to the termination of federal EV tax credits in July.

“In response to slower near-term EV adoption and an evolving regulatory environment, General Motors is realigning EV capacity,” GM said in a statement to AP.

GM also switched the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant from producing EVs to producing gas-powered vehicles, despite committing $1.4 billion for EV manufacturing.
