Great question, we get questions like this one a lot. The average salary for car mechanics who do electrical work—automotive electricians—is about $40,000 to $50,000 a year.
All modern mechanics would have an understanding of the electrical systems in a car from both their training and hands-on experience. Since almost all modern cars have a blend of both electrical and mechanical components, technicians have to be comfortable with both. Automotive electricians have a specialization in installing and repairing the electrical systems in vehicles.
Since EVs are still relatively new, many mechanics don’t have the training to fix them. This is being changed as some schools are teaming up with companies to provide
special EV training
for students.
All the best in your studies—hope this helps!
