Is anyone else afraid?

Electric cars will soon take over, that means hundreds of thousands of technicians and mechanics will be laid of.

I was reading some articles on electric car cost of operation and it's next to nothing. Even worse, I feel as though everything I'm studying at this moment is about the internal combustion engine might be a waste in about 10 or 15 years. Fuel trim, O2 monitoring, injector duty cycles, spark waveforms, injector waveforms etc.

Even in Europe, heavy equipment is moving towards electric and some of these machines can run for 7 hours on a charge.


The only field to look forward too is marine diesel since the electric technology has a long way to go for that industry. In short my end game has changed.

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.
