What will auto shops do when electric cars take over?
I’ve been going to my same local mechanic for years, but I am sad to think I’ll have to start going somewhere else if I switch to an electric car. What will auto shops do when electric cars take over?

It’s true that in order to service an EV, you’ll have to go to an
electric car mechanic
, but don’t rule out your local auto shop just yet. Electric cars may not require oil changes, fuel filters, spark plug replacements or emissions checks, but they still require regular maintenance just like any other car. Also, as hybrid car technology has grown in popularity, many mechanics are already familiar, at least to some extent, with electric car technology.
Electric cars are much more affordable and accessible than they used to be, but there are still some barriers to ownership. EV drivers will save money on fuel and repair costs, but things like
car insurance
rates for EVs still tend to be higher due to their specialized parts. Sign up with

and you’ll not only get instant quotes for the best deals on car insurance coverage, but Jerry will also reevaluate your plan every six months to make sure you’re always getting the best coverage at the best price. View full answer
