It will, presumably, boil down to the sort of garages which look after "classic" and older cars nowadays.

My MOT man has said that he has no intention of training on EVs, but he seems to keep busy for the time being.

Yes, retraining mechanics to be electricians will be quite a job and technical colleges should immediately start offering part time or evening courses in my view.  Most sensible garage managers will I think be willing to pay an incentive to staff who can qualify to deal this both types of vehicles.

Another problem is parking EV's in an enclosed space as there is a risk that one of the batteries might explode..

Anyway, in my view, EV's are really most necessary inside cities to keep the air clean and these mini cars can have small lithium batteries of 10 to 20 kWh that can be charged at home or elsewhere fairly quickly.

 Motorway vehicles and long distance heavy lorries will almost certainly be more efficient using a diesel or petrol engine and the CO2 they emit can be readily absorbed by the roadside vegetation.
