Career Opportunities in Sustainable Emerging Markets: Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Development and Maintenance
Automotive manufacturing is one Canada’s key industries. The shift to zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) production in automotive manufacturing is a key contributor to the growth in global sustainability.
Canada has expressed a firm commitment to sustainability initiatives and programs that aim to achieve a carbon-neutral future, with infrastructure targets of 84,500 chargers and 45 hydrogen stations deployed across Canada by 2029. With over a billion dollars invested since 2016 in expanding support for ZEVs, and a further $400 million pledged by Natural Resources Canada for infrastructure projects, Canada plans to develop a network of charging stations to support an estimated 4.6 million electric vehicles expected to be on roads by 2030. This effort will allow many skilled and professional workers within Canada to participate in the greening of Canada’s economy.
