Qυеѕtіοn bу Tipper: If everybody ѕtаrtѕ driving electric cars, wіƖƖ alot οf auto mechanicanics bе рƖасе out οf work?
Wе usually need thеѕе guys whеn thе internal combustion engine іn ουr cars need tο bе fixed. I hаνе a fan thаt hаѕ аn electric motor, іt hаѕ bееn іn υѕе fοr 60 years аnԁ thаt motor hаѕ bу nο means looked-fοr a repair ( іtѕ mу Grandma’s) CουƖԁ thе cars powered bу electric motors bе converted іntο thіѕ reliable?

Nο, thеу wіƖƖ јυѕt adapt аnԁ learn whаt wаntѕ tο bе fixed οn thе nеw cars. Jυѕt Ɩіkе computer repairmen ԁο. Thеу јυѕt learn аnԁ fix whatever іѕ οn thе market tο fix.

no they will still need to be repaired when a problem does occurre.
will still need stuf like brakes,batterys,tires,etc.

Mechanics don’t just work on engines.So I would say no.

not likely as the items manufactured years ago were built a lot more durable than their counterparts today. the electric car will be subjected to a lot of adverse conditions that most electric motors by no means see.

the engines now, gas or electric could be that reliable but will by no means happen. too many companies have millions invested in the industry so vehicles are made to fail. an auto tech to stay in the industry will have to be converted into hybrid certified to compete. a man invented a tire that would by no means go flat or lose its tred. Goodyear bought the rights and gave us the “run-flats”. like throw a dog a bone. we will by no means be able to take pleasure in the real rewards of equipment because the system is designed to keep these huge companies in business.
a excellent tech today had to know electronics, thermodynamics, hecidecimal system (can comp.), math and formulas..etc…

I reckon the car makers will fix it so something will go incorrect at times. We will just need more electricians!!

Some will, some won’t.
When cars started hitting the road, they’re weren’t very reliable. When cars started becoming ordinary, many horse trainers were place out of business.
Things will always change. The world won’t end, with combustion engines.

the truth is the internal combustion engine is such a small part of what mechanics do. I know everyone despises mechanics and casts them out as charlatan, trust me I know how to work on my own car I have been working on cars for 20 years now. Even I sometimes want to take my car to a mechanic. But to answer your question the Utopia that you converse in of will by no means happen because even now the car company’s have realized the value of “plotted obsolesces”. Car company’s can make a car last longer, but why would they? We as people get tired and want the newest and best comfort features available. Can you live with the same car for 60 years? Things will always break on a car because of the largest flaw in the design, it still requires a human to drive it.

It’s a different set of skills, that’s for sure. The Fuel system, emission controls, and the engine itself must account for a pretty large fraction of car repairs. I DO NOT reckon electric cars will be as reliable as a refrigerator. People have been building them at home for 40 years, and they are very hard to take care of. Particularly because the batteries are so finicky. A battery is a reactor where a reversible chemical result can take place over and over. It turns out there are a lot of things that go incorrect in there.
If mechanics are thrown out of work, they can help build power plants. We’re going to need a lot more electricity if it all works. I am really looking forward to having an electric car.

if a cars electric it doesnt mean it does’t have nuts and bolts that need to be tightned, or huge metal pieces that will need replacing, it will still be a machine, not a huge computer

Yes. Electric cars will ruin the auto industry. Of course we will still need people to maintain the suspension and steering and stuff like that, but when a motor has one moving part instead of hundreds reliability goes through the roof and people loose their jobs. Why do you reckon GM ruined the EV1? Why do you reckon Bonesman Bush by no means says anything about bicycles or public transit with respect to the fuel crisis?
