I know this can be opinion based. But can someone explain at what detriment it is to someone if they can’t open the hood of an electric car: such as a dealership can/should only open it.

I am not a vehicle person, or a tech savvy person.
From my knowledge there isn’t really anything “under the hood” to tinker with or easily fix. As it is just a battery and connectors maybe.
Also that the batteries are extremely dangerous and if they catch on fire they burn for an extremely long time, and you simply have to let it burn out.

I may be wrong so please correct me.

I can understand an answer of access should be shared to all mechanics capable, but would love a factual answer.

Tysm for your time.
