If they ban the combustion engine like they plan to do in Germany then a lot of "high skilled" automotive jobs will disappear.
There is very little to maintain or fix on an electric motor. In fact, once they get around to it I can imagine there may be 20x less maintenance and specialized parts needed to keep it running. For the price of a camshaft, spark plugs and hoses - you could probably buy an entirely new electric engine.
A combustion engine is a surprisingly complex beast, and seemingly more so - unnecessarily complex if you just want to get from point a to b.
Do you value make work jobs or efficiency more?
