Electric Vehicles (EVs) Impact on Labour Market and Independent Retail Gasoline Dealers and Auto Service & Repair Industry

This research project involves the evaluation of scholarly journal articles, a series of interviews to anticipate the impending effects that electric vehicles will have on the Nova Scotian automobile sector. This project is in partnership with the Automotive Sector Council of Nova Scotia, a non-profit organization, to provide usable data for long term planning and adaptation of the sub-markets to service electric vehicles. This research will focus on highlighting effects to oil/gas companies, repair service companies and part suppliers. ASC will benefit from having greater awareness of the current market landscape and its expected evolution, this will better enable judgments on development of infrastructure and planning. Hudson will be handling the review of articles to source information, from this information he will work alongside the ASC contact to create a series of interview questions which will later be posed to 15 interview participants. The project will result in a presentation for the ASC team to share with the sector and academic journal publication by the researchers.
