Michigan To Get New EV Training Center
8Sponsored Links
Between its existing GM Lake Orion plant, which builds the Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV, and its new Factory Zero facility, it’s clear that GM is investing heavily in electric vehicle production in its home state of Michigan. Lawmakers are on board with GM’s vision for an electrified future, it seems, as the state this week announced $130 million in funding to construct a new training and educational center for electric vehicles on the University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus.
The EV training center will help educate and teach U of M students on electric vehicles, helping to prepare a new, highly-skilled workforce to operate in the emerging electric vehicle industry. Rick Fitzgerald, a spokesperson for the University of Michigan, told Crains Detroit Business the facility will support other EV-focused ventures the school is undertaking, including its dedicated battery lab, its robotics program and its Transportation Research Institute.

I shake my head as GM continues to put more of their corporate eggs in the EV basket. This is a huge gamble, I can’t believe that the Board is all in. They are blinded to their customers’ wants by government incentives and green dreams. The great awakening should begin this November!
By this rationale, every single automaker in the world is making a mistake. I think 100+ for-profit and mostly publicly-traded automobile manufacturers aren’t all wrong about their future revenue streams.
Not all of the others committed to EV 100% like GM. Not all of the others refused to offer hybrids like GM. GM is offering no alternatives for their customers. I still maintain it’s a huge gamble to put all of their eggs in the same basket. History has proven that many times.
Ed tu souffre de demense et sûrement tu es républicain pour dire autant de connerie
Will they teach how to put out EV fires?
Does GM actually sell ANY ev’s currently? Or do they just take orders for future sales?
Since I’m still waiting for my new battery for my over 1 year old 2022 Bolt EUV, I’m assuming they aren’t selling any others.
My 2022 Bolt EUV is 2 weeks old and running just fine. It was manufactured 5/22
How do i apply for this training?
