There is a shortage of EV skilled workforce compared to growth in BEV, PHEV and HEV sales, according to the Institute of the Motor Industry. As the latest SMMT data shows that EV sales represent 23% of the new vehicle market in May, the IMI reveals that by the end of 2020 only 6.5% of the automotive sector was EV ready
