Abstract
The emergence of the modern Electronic Vehicle (EV) industry, given South Carolina’s current standing as the nation’s top exporter of cars, has the potential to be transformative and disruptive to our state. Part of responding to this challenge and opportunity means ensuring that we have a workforce that appeals to existing and emerging employers as the EV transition gathers pace. This report, as directed in Executive Order 2022-31, seeks to do the following: Evaluate the State’s existing and anticipated EV-related workforce availability and capacity needs and explore opportunities to enhance the State’s existing workforce development policies or mechanisms so as to advance the competitive standing of South Carolina’s EV ecosystem and automotive sector relative to other States and position South Carolina as a center of growth and global leader with respect to EV-related research, development, and production; Conduct a comprehensive and detailed supply gap analysis of the EV ecosystem, in consultation with the business community, industry stakeholders, education providers, and other state agencies and departments, to evaluate EV-specific occupations and the projected demand for any relevant training, credentials, or certifications; and Identify and report to the undersigned and the General Assembly any recommended statutory or regulatory changes or enhancements related to the State’s existing workforce development mechanisms that may be necessary or appropriate to facilitate new business and industry investment or expansion in the EV sector.
