German EV transformation could cost 186,000 jobs by 2035, study says

Job losses in the automotive industry due to the transition to electric vehicles

186,000 jobs could be lost in the German automotive industry by 2035 due to the transition to electric vehicles (EVs), according to a new study.

The transition to EVs is a major challenge for the German automotive industry, which is heavily reliant on ICE vehicles. The industry is facing pressure from governments to reduce emissions, and from consumers who are increasingly demanding EVs. The transition to EVs is also likely to have a significant impact on the German economy, as the automotive industry is a major employer and a key driver of economic growth.

The CAR study found that the job losses in the automotive industry will be concentrated in the production and assembly of ICE vehicles. These jobs are likely to be replaced by robots and automated systems, as EVs are less complex to manufacture than ICE vehicles. The study also found that the job losses will be partially offset by the creation of new jobs in the EV sector. These jobs will be in areas such as battery production, EV assembly, and software development.

The transition to EVs is a major challenge for the German automotive industry, but it is also an opportunity for the industry to create new jobs and drive economic growth. The German government is supporting the transition to EVs with a number of measures, including subsidies for EV purchases and investments in EV infrastructure. The government is also working with the automotive industry to develop new technologies and create new jobs in the EV sector.
