Global demand for EVs is projected to grow six fold in the next few years from 6.5 million annual unit sales to approximately 40 million units. Additionally, the Federal Government has set targets for one-fifth of all passenger cars, SUVs, and trucks sold in Canada to be electric vehicles by 2026, increasing to 60% of sales by 2030 and 100% of sales in 2035. Meeting these targets requires workers with the knowledge and skills to assemble, service, repair, promote, and sell these electric vehicles and their components.
