Home to a significant manufacturing footprint. Wisconsin has the the opportunity to become a major player in the electric vehicle and battery supply chain sector. But doing so requires additional investment and workforce development.
In total, more than 235,000 jobs have been created in the EV sector across the United States. As of August 2024, $125 million in private investments has been poured into the Wisconsin EV manufacturing industry, spurred by approximately $68 million in federal funding. Prominent Wisconsin investments are shown on the map below.

These investments, along with recent changes in tax policy, are bolstering American manufacturing and supply chains, which is critical at a time when China has a head start in the global transition to electric transportation. Read more about how electric vehicles can benefit Wisconsin.
Wisconsin has already taken important steps toward an electrified transportation future, with actions by the state government, local governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector, including utilities and EV companies. Wisconsin’s future prosperity will be shaped by its ability to keep pace in adopting and guiding this transformation.
Learn more about the policies, strategies, and partners that can help the Badger State accelerate electrification in our Wisconsin EV Policy Landscape. This document reflects input from a wide range of on-the-ground stakeholders and builds upon the insights of previous roadmaps and guidance documents, including those developed by the EC. It reviews transportation’s current impacts to public health, safety, and the economy, and it identifies a set of high-impact areas of engagement.
On July 26, the EC will host a Wisconsin EV Policy Bootcamp aimed at decision-makers and industry experts, as well as transportation and community advocates. Additional Wisconsin-specific webinars and stakeholder engagement sessions are also in the works. Subscribe below and follow the EC on social media to be the first to know about these events!
