Biden to announce $900 million for electric vehicle chargers at Detroit auto show
CBSN
Washington — President Biden, a gearhead with his own vintage Corvette, will showcase his administration's efforts to promote electric vehicles during a visit Wednesday to the Detroit auto show, where he is planning to announce hundreds of millions of dollars to build charging stations in dozens of states.
The Democratic president, who recently took a spin in his pine-green 1967 Stingray with Jay Leno for a segment on CNBC's "Jay Leno's Garage," may get the chance to slide behind the wheel of a new vehicle Wednesday during his stop in Detroit. He doesn't get many chances anymore in the driver's seat; he's not allowed to drive on public roads as president.
But he's mostly going to the North American International Auto Show to talk shop, plugging the huge new climate, tax and health care law that offers tax incentives for buying electric vehicles.
