On September 19th, 2022, following his championing of the largest investment in clean energy in history, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer revealed how the Inflation Reduction Act new consumer Electric Vehicle Tax Credit that will create a huge new market for clean battery-powered vehicles made with locally-sourced or recycled minerals such as the Lithium, Cobalt, and Nickel produced by Li-Cycle in Rochester, instead of minerals sourced from places like China. To meet the additional demand for locally-sourced battery minerals that will be fueled by the Inflation Reduction Act's Clean Vehicle Tax Credit, Li-Cycle will need to accelerate and ramp up the growth of its Rochester operations and workforce. So today, Schumer is announcing his push to help Li-Cycle tap some of the billions in new grants and loans provided by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IJJA) to help Li-Cycle make that jump to expand over the coming years to provide new growth opportunities for Li-Cycle and its Rochester, NY workforce.
