Vance has described the $500 million federal grant allocated for an electric vehicle plant in Michigan as ‘table scraps.’ He criticized the amount, implying that it is insufficient compared to what is ideally required or expected. However, this statement is likely to stir debate as it is significant funding from the federal government intended to boost clean energy and electric vehicle production in Michigan. Regardless of the criticism, the grant is expected to contribute to job creation, technological advancement, and the overall growth of the electric vehicle industry in the state.
