Since the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) last year, there has been an increase in jobs in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. EcoCareers.org has seen this increase, and it’s only expected to keep growing as electric vehicles become increasingly popular in the months and years ahead.

EcoCareers.org is an online jobs board and resource website for all jobs in sustainability, whether traditional green jobs like solar panel technicians or environmental scientists to jobs in industries that are newer to sustainability, like fashion and manufacturing. EcoCareers.org seeks to connect employers, hiring managers and HR personnel in the green sector with jobseekers and the top talent in their respective industries.

Joseph Boll, the organization’s CEO, said, “EV jobs had already been slowly increasing over the past few years as environmentalists pushed more businesses and consumers to adopt more environmentally-friendly modes of transportation. Different incentives and initiatives from the government and from non-profit organizations helped entrepreneurs get into the field, and helped distributors make more of an effort to make electric vehicles readily available to the public.”

These kinds of developments necessarily meant more jobs in manufacturing, engineering, and more, but all within a sustainable field. Now, thanks to the IRA, demand for EVs is expected to increase, and with that demand will come more economic growth and more job opportunities.

On EcoCareers.org’s job board, there are already more than 100 EV job openings — up dramatically from before the IRA was enacted. With the IRA expected to indirectly create thousands of job openings within the green economy, Boll says this figure is only going to continue growing from here on out. He added that his organization will continue working to bridge the gap between jobseekers and employers as this trend continues.

“You’re about to see a lot more electric vehicles on the road in the near future,” said Boll, “and that means more work for people in the industry. For anyone looking to join the industry and become part of the incredible growth that’s about to take place, now is the time.”
