Yes, exactly.
Whether for charging infrastructure issues, a zero-emissions standard, how to incentivize the transition to EVs and disincentivize the purchase of polluting vehicles, or worker training campaigns, we really need to train workers. Right now, it's a real problem. We really need to do this work.
I'm talking about training workers, vendors and people who work in garages, all the way up to automakers and well-established dealerships. This is a real challenge, because there is a problem with labour and staff turnover.
I've asked people who work at dealerships if they've ever plugged an electric car into a fast-charging station. Less than 5% of the 2,000 respondents said yes. That means that people who work at dealerships don't have the training to know how to sell, charge and introduce electric vehicles to customers. It's a real problem.
