I saw a list the other day on the internet. Around 30 EV assembly line factories, battery plants, battery tech centers, battery recyling centers, chip plants for ev’s are currently being built or planning to be built. Hundreds of billions of investment.
Nearly all in red states.
Conservatives will love ev’s when many of their family members are employed in high wage jobs by EV companies in one way or another
You make a good point on EV related jobs.
But the technology, business model, natural resources, and infrastructure for mass (or even modest) EV adoption are all flawed in fundamental ways.
The transition to LCD-TVs is instructive. It was literally a total market disruption. Done in an open market (no subsidies) leveraging existing infrastructure (cable TV) with market participants from around the world. LCD sales skyrocketed because the transition was clear and logical. EVs ain’t.
