Complete shift to EVs to cost Japan 5.5 mn jobs: Toyota President

Toyota President Akio Toyoda has said that Japan's automotive industry risks losing 5.5 million jobs by 2030 by switching all cars to electric. "Japan is an export-reliant country. Thus, carbon neutrality is tantamount to an issue of employment," Toyoda explained. "Some politicians are saying that we need to turn all cars into EVs...I don't think that's the case," he added.
