DOE will provide assistance to construct or upgrade battery manufacturing, component, and recycling plants for lithium-ion and other advanced batteries, as well as for factories producing the power electronics for electric drive vehicles. These agreements will help lower the cost of battery packs, batteries, and electric propulsion systems. DOE will also support demonstration, evaluation, and education projects to help develop the market for advanced electric drive vehicles. The $2.4 billion in funding is divided between two Funding Opportunity Announcements.

Re: [FLEAA] New Opportunities
Jay, I cannot attest to the content of the article, but I did google the electric drive vehicle battery and component manufacturing initiatives and came up with a e-center.doe.gov site that required an email and password to access the topic, so without Ira Reschman's reply i would say there realy is an initiative to invest into the electrification of transportation.
