The forthcoming Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), titled "FY2024 Vehicle Technologies Office Research & Development," to be issued by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) on behalf of the Vehicle Technologies Office, represents a pivotal step towards building a clean and equitable energy economy, aligning with the top priorities of the Biden Administration. The anticipated FOA is strategically designed to propel the nation towards the Administration's goals of achieving carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035 and fostering a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. Rooted in the Department of Energy's commitment to advancing science and engineering, creating clean energy jobs, and ensuring environmental justice, this FOA will channel funding into research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) activities. These activities will contribute to the government-wide approach to address the climate crisis by driving innovation across critical areas, such as groundbreaking battery chemistries, emission reduction in off-road vehicles, enhanced transportation efficiency through connected vehicles, domestic production of electric steels, and bolstered cybersecurity for electric vehicle charging. The FOA aims to catalyze RDD&D initiatives that are pivotal for the deployment of clean energy technologies, playing a crucial role in achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
