EVs and Labor

The traditional internal combustion engine has more than 1,000 parts. New electric engines have about 50. That means fewer jobs because EVs are much simpler and therefore easier to make and assemble.

In late 2022, Ford CEO Jim Farley told the Financial Times that manufacturing EVs requires about 40% less labor than making the same number of internal combustion vehicles. VW's CEO in 2019 estimated that building EVs involves about 30% less effort than making gas-powered cars.

So a political group claiming to support 'workers' would take what position on EVs?

Ford Motor Engine has over ten thousand parts. Ford and the people mover called VE are to far behind to save, even with your Fortune .
