US to spend over $3b for boosting EV battery production, supply chains
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said on Monday it would spend more than $3 billion in infrastructure funding to fund electric vehicle (EV) battery making.
美国能源部能源部(DOE)周一表示，将花费30多亿美元用于基础设施资金，为电动汽车(EV)电池制造提供资金。
What Happened: DOE will allocate the funds from the $1 trillion infrastructure bill that President Joe Biden signed last year.
发生的事情：能源部将从乔·拜登总统去年签署的1万亿美元基础设施法案中分配资金。
The funding will focus on making more batteries and components in America, boosting domestic supply chains, creating new, retrofitted, and expanded commercial facilities as well as manufacturing demonstrations and battery recycling.
这笔资金将集中于在美国制造更多电池和零部件，提升国内供应链，创建新的、翻新和扩建的商业设施，以及制造示范和电池回收。
The DoE also announced a separate $60 million to support second-life applications for batteries once used to power EVs.
