Can your local mechanic even service EVs? The parts that are different, I mean. Obviously they can all do tires and the like.

My local mechanic can service 2 different car brands, so he can't service them all. And he services those two brands both on ICE and EV.

But he says that 95% of the things he fixes on traditional cars, is not even present in EVs. EVs just require fewer parts to work, therefore almost no parts that can break.
