Dude, no. With your argumentation a mechanic should never replace a fuel pump in an ICE vehicle, or rebuild an engine, or rebuild a transmission, or replace airbags. There are speciality OE tools and training required for all of those jobs and guess what - mechanics are able to get those tools and the required training. The same as they will be able to get the tools and training for EVs. Its not rocket surgery, don't think you're working on some kind of crazy tech, its a battery and a motor.

Very specialized things are normally outsourced to other mechanics. You can easily earn a life if you specialize in fixing car switchboards, specially when you are the only company in town that does it. Tools are expensive normally and earning the skills need a lot of self-training hours. As long as the spare part is expensive, too delicate or too risky there is a niche.
