Today, the EV market continues to grow, and its market share has grown significantly over the years. It is currently 13% indeed compared to just 7% in 2021. The growth we owe to, among other things, financial incentives such as the environmental bonus, as well as more restrictive measures such as EPZ. Not to mention, of course, the increasingly large and diverse offer and improvement of the network of charging stations. In short, there are so many elements that explain the growth of this type of motorization. And if this, of course, requires a significant investment for manufacturers, it also has a certain advantage and, in the end, will allow them to save money. At least that’s what Ford’s boss says.
There is one exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice will have to be ironed pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

Less work
Jim Farley actually held a conference in Detroit a few days ago. Obviously, many topics were mentioned there, but one was talked about in particular. Indeed, the leader returned to the development of an electric car and claimed that the production of these models requires 40% less work compared to locomotives. Therefore, it makes a huge difference, who can worry. Is he really expecting a wave of layoffs over the next few years? Well, not necessarily, on the contrary. The boss of the American brand, for his part, said that he does not plan to reduce the number of employees of the company in any case. Indeed, he then emphasized to our colleagues at the Financial Times that “ We must resort to internalization for everyone to play in this growth“. Therefore, it is not about transferring production to other companies, but about placing employees in other positions.

other needs
Indeed, the development and production of electric cars require other skills and investments. Although they require far fewer parts compared to a conventional thermal vehicle, they are indeed necessary for the design and manufacture of batteries as well as special electrical systems. And for this, of course, workers are needed. Instead of destroying jobs, the rise of zero-emission cars is likely to create new, albeit very different, jobs. However, it remains to be seen that the move is limited as more and more models are now made in China…
