The EV Jobs No One Told You About — but you might just fall In love with

When we talk about electric vehicles, the conversation is almost always about cars.
Tesla this. Charging stations that. Batteries, batteries, batteries.

But behind this zooming world of EVs, something quietly powerful is happening.
A workforce shift.

New careers are taking shape, roles that didn’t exist 5 years ago. They’re creative, meaningful, and sitting at the intersection of tech, sustainability, and storytelling. And here’s the best part: they aren’t just for engineers or coders.

Let’s talk about 5 such EV jobs you probably haven’t heard of but will very, very soon

  1. The EV Infrastructure Whisperers

(Officially: EV Infrastructure Planner)

Think of the people who design your city. Now imagine they’re mapping out where your EV charges, parks, and powers up.

These professionals work with urban planners, government bodies, startups and even real estate developers to make charging stations as common as tea stalls.

Without them the best EV tech is like a phone with no charger.

Remember when Delhi airport ran out of charging stations for taxis? That’s the kind of chaos these folks prevent.

  1. Battery afterlife investigators

(Officially: Battery Lifecycle Analysts)

This isn’t about making batteries. It’s about understanding what happens after they’re done.

These analysts track battery health, usage, recycling potential, and second-life use (like turning old EV batteries into solar energy backups for homes).

Think of data + sustainability + supply chain.
Basically, Marie Kondo meets logistics.

In 2022, a startup in Pune gave discarded EV batteries a new life in rural schools as energy backups. That’s this job, in action.

  1. EV Safety guardians

(Officially: EV Safety & Compliance Officer)

With every new battery, design, or innovation comes a question: Is it safe?

This role ensures everything meets global safety, regulatory, and performance standards. It’s less about writing rules and more about upholding trust.

  • Remember the viral video of an e-scooter catching fire in Hyderabad? A safety officer’s job is to prevent that before the first screw is even tightened.

  1. The UX Designers of Charging, Driving, Living

(Officially: EV Customer Experience Designer)

This is where tech meets psychology. These designers aren’t building apps, they’re building journeys.

From how you buy the car, to how you charge it, contact service, or troubleshoot with an AI bot, they simplify the entire EV experience.

  • Because unless your dad or grandma can use it, it’s not “mass adoption”

  1. The storytellers of the green shift

(Officially: Talent Marketing, Employer Branding, or EV Content Strategist)

Someone needs to make the world care. Someone needs to capture that rickshaw driver in Indore who switched to electric and saved ₹5,000 a month.
Or that college girl in Nagpur who built her own solar scooter.

These storytellers work across marketing, impact, employer branding, and policy awareness.
They make EVs not just a product but a movement.

  • In 2023, a 2-minute Instagram reel by Ather Energy about their employee skilling program reached 1 million views and led to 300 job applications. That’s the power of a good EV story.

So, why does this matter?

Because the EV industry isn’t just building cars, it’s building a whole new kind of world.

And that world needs planners, psychologists, content creators, safety advocates, and environmental strategists just as much as it needs coders and engineers.

  • If you’ve ever felt like you don’t “fit” into traditional tech roles–maybe, just maybe the future of electric vehicle careershas a place for you.

Would love to know which of these roles surprised you the most?
Or are you already working in one of them?

The green shift is here. And it needs you.
