VISUALIZING THE CLEAN ECONOMY: THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR
About the Map
This interactive map and downloadable spreadsheet* provide information on manufacturing facilities in the automotive supply chain, including company/facility name, location, evidence of unionization, whether the facility benefits from the 30D Electric Vehicle (EV) Tax Credit, and information on products manufactured. It also includes geographic details, including state, congressional district, coal closure communities, disadvantaged communities, and deindustrialized communities.** Details regarding the EV supply chain and relevant federal incentives were cross referenced with data from the EV Jobs Hub maintained by Atlas Public Policy. This updated and improved map was produced by the BlueGreen Alliance Foundation with support from Climate Imperative.
Details
Facilities on the map are organized into broad classifications of production, including vehicle type (e.g., light-duty, heavy-duty; note that medium-duty vehicles are included in heavy-duty), vehicle profile (car, truck, etc.), and production tier.
- Tier 1 is final vehicle assembly
- Tier 2 is propulsion systems, electronic systems, and body and interior
- Tier 3 is parts inputs and main materials
- Tier 4 is infrastructure-related equipment and remanufacturing, refurbishment, and aftermarket
Facilities that make vehicles that are believed to be eligible for the 30D Electric Vehicle Tax Credit or that otherwise stand to benefit from the credit are shown in several categories on the map:
- “Eligible now or in the near future”: EV assemblers that manufacture vehicles that have been deemed eligible for the tax credit in 2025, or where there are concrete plans to begin manufacturing an eligible vehicle in the near future.
- “Eligible in 2023-24″: EV assemblers that manufacture or previously manufactured vehicles that were deemed eligible in 2023 or 2024 but are not eligible in 2025.
- “Potentially eligible in the future”: all remaining light-duty EV assemblers that are not captured in the previous two categories.
- “Direct beneficiaries”: Light-duty EV propulsion battery suppliers and makers of battery materials and components.
- “Indirect beneficiaries”: All other light-duty EV suppliers.

* The ‘Download data’ button in the bottom right corner will download a csv of all facilities currently shown on the map, accounting for any filters applied. This includes additional variables that do not appear on the map, including other federal incentives. Depending on your browser settings, your pop-up blocker may prevent the download. If this happens, opening the map in full screen with the button at the top of this page will usually resolve the issue.
** Communities can be “Disadvantaged Communities” as defined by CEQ; “Coal-Closure Energy Communities” as defined by DOE, and “Deindustrialized Communities” as defined by the BlueGreen Alliance (BGA). See BGA’s Hard-Hit Communities Map for more information.
