The EV Transition Explained: Can the Grid Cope?

Cars That Think

In comparison, the state’s goal is to achieve this amount by 2050. Further, the system was designed for one-way power, not for distributed renewable-energy devices sending power back into the system. To achieve the reduction in greenhouse gases desired, renewable-energy generation of electricity will need to replace fossil fuels.

The EV Transition Explained: Reshaping Labor Markets

Cars That Think

Knowing how many net jobs the transition to EVs and related renewable energy will create, change or eliminate—and over what time period—is critical to determining the impacts of governmental policies and whether they need revision. Fossil fuel job impacts. Each mine and factory will need hundreds of workers to operate them.
