O.K., I got it .

This reminds me of someone freaking out that the switch from carburator to fuel injection will ultimately be the end of the world as we know it for mechanics.

Aa long as people use personal conveyances to get around, there will be people needed to service them. Dont really get the freakout that a change from ICE to electric motors will automatically mean no work for technicians on todays hyper complex vehicles.

Just dont marry yourself to old methods, and really apply yourself to automotive electrical diagnosis classes. A lot of technicians seem to consider electrical work wizardry, and dont take the time to really learn to diagnose and repair.

You can write your own ticket if you can truly understand, diagnose, and repair electrical problems which will be increasingly inportant as complexity increases, even as engines change. All shops need these people. Anyone can do brakes and an oil change.

Don’t be afraid Father of Giants. Techs will adapt. A High current transision course and a handshake is all that’s needed. Electric cars have been around since the dawn of the automobile. Battery technology has made great advances. That’s a good thing. You still get to keep your relic of a diesel. It’s been outdated for a long time and some of us like the old stuff because it’s easily understood comparatively speaking. Such is life in many ways. You can stay in your bubble of “good old days” or you can advance to modernity by trial of error like most folks do. Either way, you and the techs will be fine.
