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?

Even the most computerized electric car is still mostly mechanical,
and even the most gasoline powered car has computerized electrical
components. Would you rather have an electrician or an auto
mechanics change the brake pads on your electric car?

You
don't call a plumber to fix a problem with the electricity in
your house, do you?

Would you call a plumber or an electrician to fix the controls on
your hot tub? Hint: An electrician will tell you to call a plumber,
because he doesn't have a clue where to order the parts.
