The job losses are mostly due to easier manufacturing of EVs as well as a smaller supply chain. Suppliers of everything inside an ICE will have a very hard time and inevitibly have to cut jobs. These companies are Mahle, ZF to name just two of the bigger German ones.
ZF will have to shift focus into non combustion engine parts. Like axles, transmissions, electric motors, etc. they already have these. They sold some important product categories (like steering) to competitors in the past.
AKA lobbying.
Because german car companys have send the extra time that was given to them, why it was pushed to 2035 instead of in 2025, instead of turning their production towards electric cars, doing nothing. And now they whine about going out of buissness in 10 years and already now because their sales for all their cars plumit
I think it would be millions, to be honest. Maybe it would be one if the greatest job losses ever in history. Maybe not, but I am pretty sure it would be
The job losses would be a result of not having competitive vehicles. Not because of electric
Surprise, in ten more (Chinese) electric car companies will have an even further lead, and the job losses happen anyway!
