“Transforming our nation’s transportation infrastructure into an electrified, connected system of the future is a critical part of the energy transition. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)’s EV charger guidance gives clear direction to businesses and provides the certainty they need to deploy infrastructure and create American jobs. S.J.RES. 38 would have reversed this momentum and rolled out the red carpet for state owned Chinese manufacturers, among others, to apply for and receive funds meant for domestic manufacturers. NEMA and our member companies commend the Biden Administration and the Senate for standing with American manufacturers and defeating this effort.”
STATEMENT: Debra Phillips, President and CEO, NEMA, on Senate vote to Override Presidential Veto of SJ.RES 38
