This could lead to retailers competing for highly-skilled talent which “may result in higher costs for the repair of electric vehicles, at least over the short-to-medium term”.

He is calling on schools, colleges and universities to “recognise the role the auto industry can play in providing highly-skilled, well-paid and green jobs for future generations”.
