EV Business Leaders Highlight MI Infrastructure, Innovation Progress

May 13, 2022

Electric vehicle (EV) industry leaders in Michigan are touting the state’s progress toward electrifying the transportation sector and improving infrastructure.

With funding coming in from the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act, they stressed the transition is an opportunity for Michigan, as a major hub of automobile production.

Minoj Karwa, vice president of worldwide sales for Dearborn-based Rhombus Energy Solutions, said technological, supply-chain and manufacturing innovations make it a big moment for creating jobs, and for getting EVs to consumers.

“The vehicles are here. They’re available. Not just high-end luxury vehicles. Not just passenger cars,” Karwa observed. “We’re working on providing infrastructure for transit buses, school buses, garbage trucks, last-mile delivery, off-road. It’s tremendous.”
