    These are very good points I hadn’t considered that deeply before. I wonder if auto technicians as we know them currently will go the way of the candlemakers? Antiquated by electrification.

    I’m not familiar with the maintenance requirements of electric cars. I have heard that they are generally lean on the maintenance and have less wear and tear due to being inherently simpler machines in comparison to combustion engines.

      From my recollection, a Chevy bolt drivetrain has less than 5 moving parts and say 10 bearings. The complexity is in the electronic control systems. I hope to see more electronics repair shops doing board repairs because they’re really expensive as a unit.
