President Joe Biden on Tuesday praised an Australian company that makes chargers for electric vehicles for agreeing to build a manufacturing facility in Tennessee, saying the plant will "have a ripple effect" far beyond the state.
The company, Tritium, and the White House say the new plant will produce up to 30,000 electric vehicle chargers per year and create 500 local jobs.
"The new manufacturing facility Tritium announced today is more than just great news for Tennessee. Yes, it's going to create more than 500 good-paying jobs in Tennessee, but it can deliver greater dignity and little more breathing room to workers and their families," Biden said at a White House event on the administration's efforts to revamp American manufacturing, create jobs and lower energy costs for Americans.
The President also said it was "another example of what America could achieve" through bipartisanship, namely through the passage of his bipartisan infrastructure law. He also made a point to thank Tennessee's Republican Gov. Bill Lee for his involvement in getting the facility to his state. He noted that later this week, the Biden administration will announce its state-by-state allocation for $5 billion in funding for electric vehicle chargers.
