At the Detroit Auto Show on Wednesday, U.S. President Joe Biden highlighted automakers' increasing shift to electric vehicles and billions of dollars in new investments in battery plants. During his speech, he announced the approval of the first $900 million in U.S. funding to build EV charging stations in 35 states as part of a $1 trillion infrastructure law approved last November.

“The great American road trip is going to be fully electrified,” Biden said. “Whether you're driving coast-to-coast along I-10 or I-75 here in Michigan. Charging stations will be up and easy to find as gas stations are now."

Detroit's Big Three automakers are showing off a number of new EVs at the car show. The U.S. Congress and Biden, a self-described "car guy," have pledged tens of billions of dollars in loans, manufacturing and consumer tax credits and grants to speed the transition away from internal combustion vehicles to cleaner EVs.

Still, gasoline-powered vehicles were well-represented at the exhibition, with Biden taking a few of the automobiles for a spin. “Jump in, I’ll give you a ride to Washington,” Biden joked with reporters as he slowly drove inside the carpeted convention hall. “It’s an Uber.”
