Rep. Mace to Admin: Unfreeze Funds for Mercedes EV Plant

Rep. Nancy Mace has asked the Trump administration to release roughly $285 million in climate funding approved under President Joe Biden to help finance a Mercedes-Benz plant in her state in its efforts to convert to manufacturing electric vehicles, according to a letter she wrote to Energy Secretary Chris Wright. 

In the letter, sent privately to Wright on Tuesday and obtained by The Washington Post, the South Carolina Republican asked that the funds be released for the Mercedes-Benz Vans plant, located north of Charleston, because the project will add 800 jobs in her area, the newspaper reported Saturday.

The funding is part of a $1.8 billion program approved during the Biden administration in 2022 through the Inflation Reduction Act to help at-risk auto plants make electric vehicles and convert supply chains.
