I'm not gainsaying your experience of working with them. Far from. There are recorded instances where EVs are a pain to work on, but those obstacles are getting worked through. The Fire Brigade developed safety kits. HSE has laid out guidelines. I remember the mechanical engineers who looked after my first car wrestling with recently introduced computer software which they needed know about so as to maintain newer vehicles. The laptop wasn't cheap, and the software was considered very expensive back then. Computers in cars are second nature to them now. They've upgraded a load of other equipment, too.
Nope, wrong again.
You just don't seem to get that an EV, by it's very nature, has a battery containing huge amounts of energy, which has to be distributed by cables to the controllers and motors. It's nothing to do with software, all modern cars have software. A modern high end vehicle, like Mercedes or BMW can have up to 50 different ECUs on them. These are not the problem. The problem is the HV side. the energy in these systems is highly dangerous and working on them is a risk. Furthermore, as part of the painting process, the paint has to be baked in the spray booth/oven for several hours after it's been painted.
You cannot bake an EV in this way, the batteries do not like it and become a huge fire risk.
Please stop thinking you have an answer for everything, you don't.
With every post you make it's clear you have no idea what you are talking about.
EVs are not the holy grail and never will be.
