With electric cars, if it breaks down, I don't think there's a

Electric cars are mechanically simpler and therefore easier to
repair
(although like all electronics, these days that essentially means
board swaps). When there are enough electric cars, there will be
more
mechanics who can deal with them than mechanics who know what to do
with a gasoline vehicle. In 20 years most of the cars on the road
will
be electric.

Wouldn't that require electricians rather than mechanics? You don't
call a plumber to fix a problem with the electricity in your house,
do you? The same ought to apply to electric cars, just as it already
applies to electric trains and trams.
