With electric cars, if it breaks down, I don't think there's a mechanic at every corner, who can fix it.


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.
