Across the country, thousands of companies.....are warily eyeing a future of electric vehicles that contain a fraction of the parts of their gasoline-powered counterparts
and require less servicing and no fossil fuels or corn-based ethanol. It’s a transition that will be felt well beyond Detroit, as millions of workers at repair shops,
gas stations, oil fields and farms find their jobs affected by an economic dislocation of historic proportions.
 
Most of what our fleet shop does on late model cars is brakes, suspension, and HVAC related. Sure engines get tune ups a couple times, oil changes, and occasional fluid leaks or cooling issues, but the garbage bolted around the motor and snapped together in the cab generates most of our labor. Doubt we'll notice much reduction.
