We better get started now. Yes, we do hybrids, but I believe EV’s are going to be different. So, I’m going to get started without losing focus on my primary clients. Washington D.C. is pushing EV’s heavily. It’s coming whether I want it too or not. Slow and steady for now and ramp up as we go. I’m still not completely convinced where the transportation industry is going. I do know that soon I will have to deal with EV’s. I’m sure you’re a shop owner and reading this you have similar questions. My opinion is that we need to use our collective resources to deal with the changes. Using CAR (Council of Automotive Repair) may be our best option. If you have thoughts on this subject. I would recommend calling WMDA/CAR to express your feelings. We’re all in this together and it would help if we banded together. I’m trying hard not to make this a sales pitch about WMDA/CAR. But I don’t want to rely on some corporate program that suits them rather than us. One thing I have learned over the years is we are not each other’s enemies. We can learn a lot from each other. This is a problem in the aftermarket. We don’t have a ton of resources on a local level to pull us together. Enough. Remember, keep your eye on the ball and live the good life. n
