Hmmm - we have three similar tags - , and

To my mind, electrics and electrical both describe tha main electrical system of the car - fuses, wiring etc, and one should probably be a synonym of the other.

Electronics to me describes things with chips in, such as computers, ecus etc, so is distinct.

    Agree with this, Electrics and electrical could perhaps be merged.

They seem very distinct to me. They are certainly related, but all point to possibly different resolutions and skill sets.

Electrical - Wiring
Electronics - Computers and sensors
Electrics - Vehicles powered by electric motors

  • Yeah, "electrics" should be got rid of.
