Overview

• A planning document circulating on Capitol Hill lists more than $16 billion in Department of Energy projects under consideration for cancellation across over a dozen states.
• Targets include over $1 billion tied to General Motors and Stellantis and roughly $800 million in Michigan, with GM’s Lansing Grand River plant slated for a $500 million EV conversion grant.
• The GM award was projected to retain more than 650 jobs and add 50, according to the Biden administration’s project description.
• One Stellantis item on the list had already changed course, as a $335 million Belvidere, Illinois EV plan was replaced in March by a move to build Ram midsize pickups, while $250 million for Kokomo electric drive modules remains listed.
• Other projects flagged include $95 million for Dow battery solvents, $285 million for a Mercedes-Benz van shift in South Carolina, and $75 million for a Cummins plant transition in Indiana, as the administration pursues broader rollbacks of federal EV support.
