When I started out as an apprentice motor mechanic in 1974, we repaired everything. Engines, gearboxes, axles, starters, dynamo's, alternators etc etc. Even used to fit new linings onto clutch plates and brake shoes.

What people don't realise with the push to electric vehicles is that once the engine, transmission and associated parts are literally taken out of the equation, there is very little left for all the car service and repair garages and parts suppliers.
Then massive amounts of minerals / earth metals will need to. Be mined out the ground in order to manufacture all these batteries
There is even talk of having to go deep sea mining from the oceans
Some boiler manus will go out of business in the UK
How are those who do not have off street parking or those who live in high rise flats supposed to charge up there lecy cars

The banning ICE cars by 2030 is a bit of a red herring. Most analysts expect electric cars to be the same price as petrol by 2023-2025. Then they start getting cheaper.
Some people will need stupidly long range vehicles and will pay extra for their petrol motor. Most don't and won't.
By 2030 petrol engines cars will be a niche product. Banning them in advance is nothing but virtue signalling to avoid doing anything meaningful now.

I was talking to my mate about this only yesterday. He lives in a terraced house in London and he said even if he had a charging point from his house, it’s very rare he gets to be able to park outside his house!
So said many stable owners, farriers etc when Transams were invented.
Boohoo. Dry your eyes boyo.

This assumes they need a car. There will be cars on demand, and if you are lucky with added free vomit from the last user.

As some bloke said..""It is insane to drive around alone with an empty sofa behind you and an empty armchair beside you"...The average journey is a few miles I think...Everyone wants a git big SUV...utter sheer bloody madness.
The oil companies (rebadging themselves as energy companies) are investing heavily in various techs for turning filling stations into Hydrogen stations, or fast-charging stations, or battery-swap stations, or whatever it takes. Already there are a few charging outlets in supermarkets so you can charge your car while you push your trolley round Tesco.
In ten years time, transport tech need not be what people envisage today.
