Everybodies super paranoid about job loss in auto manufacture. If we all move to electric cars, the charging infrastructure is going to need to be massive. In cities, we will need chargers by every parking space and in towns/villages every house will need its own charger. The building, installation, and maintenance will be far from trivial for all these chargers. Also, battery production, car battery refit, and recycling will become industries in themselves. I'm not convinced that people are thinking about all these feeder industries that will benefit from the adoption of electric vehicles. I don't think these jobs will go away, just mutate into something else.
