The Battery-Car Revolution Could Sharply Cut Into the Automotive Workforce

The Detroit Bureau

Today’s cars already need less service than those from the 1960s and 1970s, one reason we see fewer gas stations with repair bays.

More battery-electric vehicles on the road will require charging networks and could threaten even those service stations that survive.

Micromobility Experiment in Pittsburgh Aims to Get People Out of Their Cars

CityLab

The companies collaborated in response to a request for proposals from Karina Ricks, the city’s director of transportation. They’re aligned around at least one common goal: reducing the 56 percent of commuters in Pittsburgh who drive alone by offering car-free transportation options that customers can access and book through a single platform.
