Declaring "America is back," President Joe Biden pushed his $2.3 trillion infrastructure package Tuesday. Biden visited a Ford electric vehicle plant to make the case his plans will help steer the country toward a promising electric-car future.

U.S. President, Joe Biden said  "The future of the auto industry is electric. There's no turning back. And as Rory says, the American auto industry is at a crossroads. And the real question is whether we'll lead or we'll fall behind in the race to the future or whether we'll build these vehicles and the batteries that go in them here in the United States or rely on other countries.

In remarks at Ford's Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, Biden put the spotlight on the electric vehicle manufactuting as a way to tackle climate change while simultaneously create good paying jobs.
