The objective is to enable state-level programs that make subgrants to small and medium manufacturers (SMMs) for projects to convert internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle manufacturing facilities to electric vehicle (EV) production, in accordance with Section 50143 of the Inflation Reduction Act. Eligible states must have an automotive sector workforce of at least 0.5% and qualify for at least $4 million in grant funding. The full application deadline is October 30, 2024, with expected award negotiations from November 2024 to January 2025 and expected awards in February 2025.

The program falls under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications (CFDA #81.253) and is authorized under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Past awards under this program have ranged from $1.3 million to $616.8 million, with project durations typically spanning 1-3 years. The funding is intended to support domestic EV production capabilities and enable a just transition for workers and communities across various U.S. locations.
