Europe's car industry crisis and the future of electrification
A crisis has been building in Europe's automotive industry over the past few years, as it has struggled to adapt to the challenges of Chinese competition and the shift to electromobility. For a sector that employs millions of workers, this is a serious issue - for people's jobs, for Europe's industrial core, and for the green transition as a whole. So let's unpack this complicated relationship between the woes of the car industry and the push for electrification in Europe. How much is the former due to the latter, and why has electrification not happened faster? More fundamentally, what role should EU policy be playing in this delicate balancing act between climate, social and industrial objectives? With me today to do this unpacking are Benjamin Denis, Head of Industrial Policy Coordination at IndustriAll Europe, which is the trade union federation of industrial workers, and Tommaso Pardi, Senior Researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research, Director of GERPISA, the research network on the automotive industry, and contributor to the ETUI's recently published book 'Is ‘electromobility made in Europe’ still possible?'

Oh wow, that sounds awful! 😱 Same situation here 10 years ago... I'm SO sorry - I didn't know that the US would be THAT much of a developing country re electromobility 🫂😢
When we travel e.g. 650 km to my parents in law, there are superchargers everywhere, charging is safe, easy and quick.

michlalbrt.bsky.social: If Germany had a government with economic competence, it would push ahead with the expansion of renewable energies, electromobility and battery storage, because that's where the jobs of tomorrow will be created.

Unfortunately, we do not have such a government.
Hätte Deutschland eine Regierung mit Wirtschaftskompetenz, würde diese den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien, der Elektromobilität und Batteriespeicher vorantreiben, weil dort die Arbeitsplätze von morgen entstehen.

Leider haben wir keine solche Regierung.

"According to the government, the Olinia Carga can carry up to 650 kilogrammes and will offer a range of more than 120 kilometres per charge. The cab seats two people, while the battery can be charged from a standard domestic socket."

Can firms transform if parts of the workforce cannot see a place in the future?
