WSJ article today says that EV's are more expensive to repair and that fewer places will work on them. My nephew's Toyota dealership isn't allowed to park EV's indoors overnight for insurance purposes. Will home insurance companies require that too?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
There's a shortage of ICE mechanics and there's a lot more of those cars. I don't see EV's being that much harder to work on but the cost of parts are going to be pretty steep.

That's right, which is why so many autoworkers will get laid off. Those cars are much easier to build with robotics.
That doesn't mean they will be affordable, reliable, or desirable to the average middle class American, especially those who don't have a house where they can charge their car every day. How many people live in apartments or condos that don't have their own garage and charger?
