STATEHOUSE (Oct. 7, 2021) – "We're seeing electric vehicles begin taking up a growing portion of the automotive market and that percentage of sales is only expected to go up. The Electric Vehicle Product Commission will evaluate our state's capabilities, so Indiana can position itself to be a world leader moving forward. This technological shift is ripe for innovation and Hoosier manufacturers are ready to plug into the future, build on Indiana's existing infrastructure and bolster new opportunities for our skilled and developing workforce to make it happen."
