The Terrible Price of Electric Cars for Turkey

The automobile industry has been electricity conversion has adopted. Today, companies that are trying to enter the sector and playmakers such as Ford, Volkswagen and BMW are producing electric motor cars and are planning their futures on this transformation. Moreover, the end of vehicles with internal combustion engines is also coming. While all this is happening, there is a great danger waiting for the world. So much so that the spread of electric cars, employees in the automotive industry millions of people It could result in her being fired. So why?

As a matter of fact, electric cars have a very simple structure in technical terms. In this context; Compared to internal combustion engine cars, their engines and other powertrains much easier is manufactured somehow. In addition, many parts of internal combustion cars are not needed in electric cars. This is the case in the automotive industry. employee crisis makes you think it’s possible.

According to Volkswagen and Ford, the effort spent on an electric car is 30 percent less than an internal combustion car.

According to the analysis made by Volkswagen and Ford, the labor spent for an electric car is more than the labor spent for cars with internal combustion engines. 30 percent less than. According to the research conducted by AlixPartners, a consulting company, producing electric motors and batteries is more than manufacturing internal combustion engines and transmissions. Requires 40% less labor. These numbers mean that once the electric revolution is complete, there will be no need for people working for internal combustion engines. If these predictions come true, 3-4 out of every 10 people in the industry will no longer be needed.

In Europe, 630,000 people may lose their jobs!

According to a study, if electric cars continue to spread at this rate, by 2030 in Europe. 630 thousand people he will be out of work. Because there will be no need for people working for internal combustion engines. However, there is also the opposite dimension. For example, for new engine and battery technologies for electric cars to 580 thousand people will be needed. The striking thing is that the people who are currently working will not be able to find a job in the sector unless they change their qualifications in the coming years. So much so that the best engineers working for internal combustion engines today are on the subject of electric cars. they don’t have enough knowledge.

Turkeyis one of the countries where the automotive sector is important. According to research conducted in previous years, the automotive sector accounts for at least 5.5 percent of employment in Turkey. The share of the automotive sector in the industry, directly or indirectly, is around 15 percent. If the analysts’ predictions are correct, we can make the following calculation: According to the June 2022 data of TUIK, approximately 5 million people work in the industrial sector. Of these, 15 percent, or 750 thousand, are in the automotive sector. If Volkswagen and Ford’s estimation holds; in Turkey in the next 10 years 225 thousand people may be unemployed…
