Report: Tennessee keeps high rank in projected EV jobs amid industry uncertainty
In this mention
Tennessee maintains its position as the second-ranked southeastern state for anticipated EV manufacturing jobs despite industry slowdowns and federal policy uncertainty. A new report from Atlas Public Policy prepared for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy shows the state has 16,262 anticipated EV jobs, largely driven by Ford and SK On's BlueOval City project, though production timelines have been delayed. The report highlights challenges including the sunsetting of federal EV tax credits and slowing investment momentum across the region.
What we do know is that when we look at adoption of electric vehicles, sticker price remains a top barrier for consumers and fleet operators, even though owning an EV is much cheaper over time
