Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Biden enacted major auto-sector policies - EV tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act (Aug. 2022), $7.5 billion for a national EV charger network in the 2021 infrastructure law, and roughly $2 billion in grants to retool auto plants (July 2024) - and auto employment grew modestly. BLS data show motor vehicles and parts employment rose from 950,300 in January 2021 to 975,500 in January 2025 (about +25,000), and even the administration's own broadest count in July 2024 was 275,000 auto jobs across manufacturing, supply chains, and infrastructure. That is well short of the promised 1 million new auto jobs by the end of the term on January 20, 2025, so the promise was only partially kept.
