UK’s Job impact on building a domestic lithium ion battery economy.

Faraday’s Chief Economist, Stephen Gifford at @benchmark’s #EVFest “There is an opportunity to have a net gain in automotive jobs” ... this is in the face of declining ICE Jobs.

...
The data by @FaradayInst by 2040

78,000 New Jobs in Battery Manufacturing

32,000 ICE jobs remain

110,000 jobs remain in both ICE and Battery EV (companies that pivot )

Total: 220,000

Key takeaway for me: This is 35-40% new jobs. New manufacturing. New thinking. To evolve the UK’s auto industry into a 21st Century manufacturing base for the energy storage revolution.
