I have a friend who is a diesel mechanic for fleet operations. We've talked about his customers and their views on electric or hybrid vehicles. Obviously this is an anecdote, but he says many of the customers he has are planning to stick to diesel for quite a while because they don't have a team of mechanics who are qualified to work on electric drivetrains. The ones who exist are expensive, and it's expensive to train new ones. Sure they don't need spark plugs and oil changes and they don't break down often, but when they do apparently it's hard to find non-dealership technicians who can repair/replace parts.
