Somewhat interesting title:
"Inside the garage of the future
Servicing and repairing electric cars requires new skills
Many workshops will be out of a job"
But this is odd,
"The box is a 93kwh battery. The chassis belongs to a 260kph Taycan, Porsche’s first fully electric vehicle (ev). Cables, bright orange in warning, snake across it to a pair of motors and other electronic gubbins. As many a mechanic, professional and amateur, knows, fiddling with the 12v system of a typical internal-combustion engine (ice) can give you a nasty electrical jolt. But this battery delivers 800v. Though it is fitted with safety systems, that is enough for a knockout punch that could kill you."
I don't think fiddling with a 12v system is dangerous. I suppose if a person grabbed a spark plug lead they might feel an electrical jolt if the engine is running but I can't even see the spark plugs on my Honda Odyssey.
