ABSTRACT: This study is the literature review for a
Ph.D. dissertation focusing on the growing job opportunities in the electric
vehicle industry. Ensure the high potential for high-salary
jobs compared with the traditional automotive. Through the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (BIL), the government in the United States is seeking to
develop infrastructure for electric vehicles and create job opportunities. In
addition, this study shows a high demand for electric vehicle technicians in
the United States. The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is one of the ways,
especially for adults, to optimize the outcome of the training programs.
Multiple training methods for electric vehicle technicians, such as a digital
game base and augmented reality, provide an excellent learning method. The high
cooperation between the government and education institutes will make the car
industry provide more for economic growth.
