Not really, it is pretty easy to retrain in another trade.

Lol No. It still has all the other bits a motor vehicle requires to function. Do you know how many cockups motor manufacturers make that require recalls these days? It ain't going to get any better. Theres much more people leaving the vehicle repair trades than entering.

I think you need to go to Specsavers for your short sightedness lollol. There obviously won't be the demand as not as many mechanical parts that need maintaining or repairing on an EV. Auto electricians will have way more input too over a mechanic than before. As I said will result in more mechanics lining up to get the dole until they can find something else to do.

I don't consider mechanics overpriced given their skillset, overheads, lawyers yes.

So funny all you ev dreamers that think they are going to be reliable, look how much shit goes wrong on cars that doesnt have anything to do with the engine itself. They still have a transmission system, drive shafts with cv joints, suspension, brakes, cooling system, and all the other shite they pack into modern cars. They are extremely heavy for their size so they are going to be hard on driveline components

There will always be heaps of jobs for mechanics as there are 3 million plus cars on the road that will need repairs as most of us wont be able to afford or even want to buy a EV.

LOL; with US petrol prices at NZ 79 cents a liter the confidence in which you predict the US transition from internal combustion to electric is nothing short of awe inspiring.

Edited to point out the F150 is made in the US for the Us market (last year US sales were 787,372) .

Not a lot goes wrong with a modern ICE so if you take that out of the equation an ICE vehicle and EV have all the same bits that could go wrong. etc. steering, brakes, ball joints, bushes, electrics.

What's funny from my vantage point is how little you know about EVs, you are the true dreamer. School up because you're way out of your depth. . Absolute detail lmfao you hold true to stay well clear of someone who has a self accolade.

Like fuel price is the only reason somebody chooses an electric car. As I said go to Specsavers because your short sightedness is a problem to all concerned.

Yes true but where with an EV are the cambelt changes ? Oil changers ? Spark plug changes ? Tappet adjustment etc etc etc ?

Someones drunk all the ev koolaid havent they, funny how putting an electric motor in a car all of sudden makes it 100% reliable

You look to have come out of your mother's womb with poor genes for intelligence.
Now you are saying that we have stated that EV's are 100% reliable. They are your words! Stop trying to shift the goal posts.

Tick. In fact right now theres more vacancies than ever before. But you won't ever convince one severely low IQ poster in this thread who simply doesn't have a ceiling on self embarrassment.
