For every major Automotive OEM the law of averages says it creates 3 jobs in the supply chain

For instance Jaguar Land Rover employ around 30,000 in the UK right now but supports 90,000 jobs in the supply chain
Couple of things about electric vehicles. For two thirds of people it isn't going to be practical to charge up overnight because of where they live. Also the Govt. will lose billions in tax revenues so have to tax the sale of said vehicles at source - which won't go down well with those low-mileage users. And thirdly, aren't the green credentials of electric cars open to debate - I read that making the batteries alone is energy intensive..
