President Biden of the United States complained that he was lagging behind China in the manufacture of electric vehicles and said that he could not beat China, and included the installation of charging equipment for electric vehicles in 500,000 locations nationwide. We asked Congress to help us realize our huge infrastructure investment plan.
President Biden made a speech on the 18th, visiting an electric vehicle factory in Midwestern Michigan.
In this, President Biden said, "The future of the automobile industry is electric vehicles. China is frankly leading the competition," and the United States lags behind China in the development and manufacture of electric vehicles. I emphasized that.
"We can't beat China and we must act swiftly," he said, calling on Congress to help implement a $ 2 trillion infrastructure investment plan.
President Biden aims to popularize electric vehicles as a measure against climate change and employment, and the infrastructure investment plan states that electric vehicle charging facilities will be installed at 500,000 locations in the United States and that 20% of school buses will be electric vehicles.
However, talks with the opposition and the Republican Party, which oppose the huge fiscal stimulus, have been difficult, and it seems that President Biden aims to emphasize the significance by referring to the competition with China.
