DOE Invests $62 Million to Boost Battery Recycling and Workforce Training for Electric Vehicle Industry Growth

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is addressing the challenges of the rapidly growing electric vehicle industry, with analysts predicting that the industry could make up half of automotive sales by 2030. Two new initiatives, including $62 million for 17 projects to increase and improve battery recycling, aim to build a domestic supply chain and train the battery workforce. DOE also announced the Battery Workforce Initiative (BWI)’s National Guideline Standards for registered apprenticeships for battery machine operators. The funding builds on previously announced investments in strengthening the domestic battery supply chain by supporting upstream materials processing and creating precursor materials for batteries.
