5. So, the solution in the link doesn't seem very reasonable

If only half or less number of workers are needed to manufacture EV, a solution mentioned is to continue to employ the same number of people and not close any plants or lay off any workers.

They would therefore only work a dozen or so hours per week, yet would still receive a full weeks pay, or essentially more than a 300% wage increase.

Don't see the auto manufactures ever agreeing to something like that under any circumstances.
