EVs are great for efficiency, sustainability, and the environment, but they're going to eliminate a ton of jobs all across the automotive industry. They require less repairs, no oil changes, less maintenance, no gas stations, etc.

- bognition 6y agoThey need far less maintenance.
- tartoran 6y agoThere will be some kind of new maintenance taking up the old one. I'm thinking batteries and charging will be a big job maker. While in general frown upon job diminishing moves by corps, with EVs this is a natural evolution of the car industry and divorcing or distancing from the fossil fuel industry seems like a big win in my books.
- api 6y agoThey have a fraction of the moving parts. They will need objectively less maintenance.
- bluGill 6y agoThe moving parts that are missing are all in a closed and lubricated environment. The moving parts that are more in the open and thus more pron to break are identical. A modern ICE with normal maintenance should easily outlast the body of the car.
