Third Way recently released an interactive map of the automotive manufacturing facilities in the U.S., with a focus on current and future electric vehicle production. There are 50 plants in the U.S., and 24 of those are building either EVs or EV components, or will be by 2025.
On this episode of Transmission, Grace Sharkey and Sebastian Blanco dive into these statistics and what they reveal about the opportunities that lie in the United States’ EV market.
They bring on Ellen Hughes-Cromwick, senior resident fellow at Third Way and former chief global economist at Ford Motor Co., to talk about why more automakers deciding to enter the EV market means more (and better) job opportunities in manufacturing for Americans.
