Wasn't Brussels on about something similar a few years backGlad i don't live down under!!!
I wonder how long it will be before we catch on!?
This Australian city wants to charge people to work on their cars
A simple oil change could cost more than $400 for residents of this Australian city, which now requires permits for common acts.www.carexpert.com.au

It sounds like jealousy to me.. how dare you do something yourself.. you should pay a garage 1000s like i do
Exactly with sub standard work
Including but not limited to, main dealers, those technically best qualified to work on your car
Plus closing down the small back street garage that usually does a better job in my opinion
I think it's just aimed at people changing a bulb on their driveway.
I would say that the likelihood of self harm working on a 400 volt EV electrical system is somewhat greater than working on brakes.
A friend of mine used to have a back street garage specialising in Volvo's. It used to amuse me that the local Volvo dealership would send cars with problems they couldn't fix to him to repair.
Without proper training, no garage in their right minds will let one of their employees touch one of those.
Doesn't surprise me. I had a chat with the nice service rep from the JLR garage that services my wife's XE. For all major brands, VW, BMW, Peugeot, you name it, there will always be someone to be hired who knows those cars, maybe even the older ones. For neiche brands, Volvo, Jaguar, Saab (they were the first to run into those problems around here), well, not so much. Especially for older models, new hires are trained on the more recent models on the job. So if some older model shows up at a garage with an odd issue, those folks in the free garages having only worked on a given brand for decades, have a clear advantage.
They didn't just send the older cars, sometimes it was the newer models often with electronic problems.
It's a different way of thinking sometimes but still difficult at best
but you could, lets say, drive into a school, or a street parade etc
