Governor JB Pritzker is signing a new law creating economic incentives for electric vehicle production.

The Governor says the measure provides tax credits to EV Manufacturers which create jobs and build facilities in Illinois.

“With this bill we intend to attract more EV manufacturers, charging station manufacturers and automotive parts manufacturers.  More than ever before.  And it will help Illinois become one of the leading EV hubs in the entire nation.”

The Governor says this is a major step towards his goal of having one million vehicles on the road by 2030.
