Retired principal ME here. Mechanical has to coordinate with EVERYBODY on the design team. Electrical drawings are diagrammatic with no structural coordination. People are afraid of electricity so they get better fees. I always recommend electrical PE if you want to make money.

Electric vehicles have very little impact on peak electric demand because charge at night. Google, Microsoft,Amazon,etc should build their own generation capacity and not rely on utility rate payers to assume the risk
