We're in the Model A days of electric cars -- how complex was a Model A compared to the the cars of today? Same increase of complexity will occur with electric cars. The catch is, all that ICE knowledge won't be needed, but a need for other knowledge will be needed.

If you want, learn ICE stuff now, because like others have said, it'll continue to be useful for a few decades yet. However, don't stop there, learn how to diagnose everything about a car that you can, and learn EV car systems when you can.

Or.. learn ICE only then stop learning and instead, fight the other mechanics for the decreasing number of ICE jobs. The choice is yours.
