Point – CounterPoint: Will EV’s Mean Fewer Auto Jobs?
Ready for some serious discussion? This topic generates heat and new research has shed some light in Will EV’s mean fewer auto jobs published by the Detroit News.
But emerging research on the topic — including a new, first-of-its-kind study from the University of Michigan — suggests that vehicle manufacturing won’t see the job losses EV skeptics have warned of, though the impacts will be mixed. The UM study suggests that building electric vehicles requires more labor — or in other words, more jobs — than gas-powered cars over a plant’s first 15 years or more of making EVs.“(R)apid widespread loss of employment at vehicle assembly plants is a smaller risk than many fear,” the team of researchers led by Ph.D. engineers Omar Ahmed and Andrew Weng wrote.
