You really think that tire shops would not be working on the millions of Hybrid vehicles out there? There is no difference between the ~300V from a 2001 Prius or any other of the many Hybrid vehicles and that from a 2012 Leaf or any of the many other pure EVs. If the tire shops are not allowed to work on any of those cars then they will soon face their market being taken over...
BTW, I had no problem even 8 years ago, to get a new set of tires mounted on my Prius by a tire shop... Maybe I should pull the service disconnect next time and ask them to push the car around? They will (not) be amused.... Only the body shop asked me to pull the disconnect as they were used to work on disabled cars, when they started working on my previous Prius which I bought with front-end damage that the body shop cleaned up nicely. But they were actually working in the engine bay...
