Claims that the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) will result in massive job losses in the U.S. auto industry are misleading and lack evidence.(1) On the contrary, the transition to EVs presents significant job creation and growth opportunities. According to a 2023 report by the Environmental Defense Fund, strategic investments, such as those from the Inflation Reduction Act, are driving substantial job growth within the EV sector, particularly in battery manufacturing, vehicle assembly, and charging infrastructure.(2) This expansion is expected to continue, creating high-quality, well-paying jobs nationwide.Rather than leading to widespread unemployment, the move to EVs fosters a more robust and dynamic automotive industry. A 2022 report by the U.S. Department of Energy found that energy jobs, including those in the EV sector, grew faster than overall U.S. employment in 2021(3). As the industry evolves, workers are transitioning into new roles, supported by retraining programs that equip them with the skills needed for the future. This shift is essential for addressing climate change, economic expansion, and long-term job security in the U.S.(1)
