A proposal led by The University of Alabama (UA) to strengthen the Deep South’s role in production and support of electric vehicles (EVs) was selected by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for further development.

As automakers bring more EVs into production, add more computational power and continue to integrate automation, the entire transportation ecosystem must change to meet new demands. The partnership behind this proposal can work together with auto manufacturers, the energy industry and the transportation sector to add value to the supply chain, from training a skilled workforce to equipping infrastructure to sustain EVs for consumers.
