Electrical is a huge problem, as complexity skyrockets we need mechanics to diagnose and repair. Mechanics will adapt, not disappear.
Brakes are dead simple to replace and cheap to do so. Regenerative braking is insignificant in the scheme of refurbishing vehicles.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoElectrical is the one thing my local mechanic struggles with. My guess is if EV's really take hold he will be heading for early retirement.
- gkop 5y agoYep, mechanics generally dislike electrical work.
- JackFr 5y agoAt some point do we stop calling the people who fix our cars “mechanics” and start calling them “electrics”?
- orra 5y agoIt's a fair question. The amount of earthing and electrical safety required, when repairing EVs, is quite something.
- dijonman2 5y agoHow can you earth an EV? It’s isolated.

- dijonman2 5y agoIs the label important? Thanks to CAN, LIN, and automotive ethernet the competent mechanics now have things like a picoscope which affords them the ability to diagnose signal issues.
