Houghton-based Revex Technologies is poised to receive $145 million from the U.S. Department of Energy as part of $355 million in grants going to other advanced battery manufacturing projects in Muskegon, Flint and Van Buren Township.

The funds are among $3 billion being distributed nationally as the Biden administration seeks to dethrone China as the world's top battery maker.

Four projects across Michigan will get $355 million in federal funding to boost the domestic production of advanced batteries and battery materials and reduce dependence on foreign suppliers, the U.S.

The Biden administration seeks to increase domestic production of EV batteries with a $3 billion award to U.S. companies.

The U.S. Energy Department said Friday it plans to award $3 billion to 25 battery manufacturing sector projects in 14 states as the Biden administration works to shift the supply chain away from China.
