This just goes to show that Michigan doesn’t want to be left behind when it comes to improving its own EV industry. Various countries are currently making drastic efforts to make their cars largely emission-free.
This includes California, which recently announced a new law restricting the operation of gasoline and hybrid cars until 2030. The so-called “Lake Michigan Electric Vehicle Circuit” in Michigan would focus on charging stations.
The government said that once the new electric vehicle innovation is complete, consumers will be able to drive in more areas than before, allowing them to visit attractions such as parks, lighthouses, as well as business locations.

“The route will entice local residents and travelers alike to explore our incredible coastal communities and amenities while using clean energy, reducing pollution, and helping to protect our air and water,” said Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan governor.
When it comes to the completion date, the government has yet to confirm the actual launch date of the new Lake Michigan Electric Vehicle Circuit.
Engineers involved plan to conduct a feasibility test in the coming year 2022 to determine the budget required and how long it would take to complete.
