Socio-economic impact of shift to electric vehicles
As the shift to electric vehicles continues and several European countries seek to ban the sale of conventional passenger cars in the coming decades, the automotive industry will need to retrain its workforce and, where this is not possible, people may lose their jobs. This could be a significant problem as millions of people work directly or indirectly in the industry.
