How are mechanics affected by electric cars?
I love working on cars and I’ve been considering a career as a car mechanic, but I don’t know if my focus should stay on gas-powered cars or if I need to start learning about electric cars. Does the growing popularity of electric cars have any impact on mechanics themselves?

Many people believe that
electric vehicles
will take over the automotive industry in the coming years. As electric cars grow in popularity, the value of having expertise on them will grow in value as well, so it’s a great time to look into becoming an electric car mechanic
. The change isn’t going to happen overnight, or put every mechanic who doesn’t work on electric cars out of business, but as electric cars grow in popularity, having the know-how and specialized training to work on them will become more valuable too.
Due to the nature of electric cars’ specialized parts, maintaining and repairing them can be costly. Make up the difference with
insurance savings
from the Jerry
app. Jerry is an insurance comparison app that shops for low prices with dozens of different insurance companies for free. You will get quotes in seconds, can make changes at any time, and if you ever have any questions, agents are just a text away!
