I am proud to lead that charge in Congress by introducing the USA Electrify Forward Act . This critical legislation accelerates domestic manufacturing of batteries, power electronics, and other technologies in plug-in vehicles ... makes low- or no-interest loans available to manufacturers ... and updates residential building codes to encourage electric vehicle charging facilities into new multi-family buildings

Commits to legislation promoting EV manufacturing and charging access.

Evidence

Dingell’s issue page says she is "proud to lead" the USA Electrify Forward Act and describes it as accelerating domestic battery manufacturing, making low- or no-interest loans for manufacturers to retool factories, and updating residential building codes to encourage EV charging in new multi-family buildings.

Official statement of the underlying commitment; it matches the campaign promise almost exactly and shows the pledge remains on her office materials.

The enacted law created a battery processing grant program and a battery manufacturing and recycling grant program, and it expanded DOE loan-program eligibility for advanced technology vehicles; it also funded the national EV charging network and set standards for EV charging infrastructure.

This is the clearest enacted federal delivery on the battery-manufacturing and charging-infrastructure parts of the pledge, but it does not by itself show the specific low-interest manufacturer-loan or new multi-family building-code piece was enacted as promised.

Dingell said the ATVM Future Act would help "build EV batteries" in the U.S. and provide domestic manufacturers with funding to retool factories; the page says the bill modernizes and expands the DOE ATVM loan program.

Early legislative action supporting the battery-manufacturing and manufacturer-loan elements of the pledge, but it is an introduction rather than enacted delivery.

GovInfo shows Dingell introduced H.R. 8609 on April 30, 2026 and it was referred to committee; the bill is aimed at research, development, and other activities for innovative vehicle technologies.

Recent concrete legislative activity shows continued support for vehicle electrification-related policy, but the bill is committee-stage and does not itself deliver the specific promise components.

Assessments

partial later_term A for effort

The promise was not fully enacted as stated. Federal law later delivered major parts of the EV agenda, including battery manufacturing and recycling grants, EV charging infrastructure funding, and expanded DOE vehicle-loan eligibility through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Dingell also materially advanced related policy by leading or introducing EV manufacturing and loan-program legislation, including the ATVM Future Act and later vehicle-innovation legislation. However, the record does not show full delivery of all promised elements, especially the specific low- or no-interest manufacturer-loan mechanism and EV charging requirements or building-code updates for new multi-family buildings. Because significant related outcomes passed while Dingell remained in federal office, but the full package was not delivered, partial credit is appropriate.
