Yes, lots of skylights!
My shop has tons of them and it saves a bunch on electricity. At my
old shop I had to have lights on all day in certain areas which add up to $$$$.

I agree with hugo, make the slab thick enough for a lift and make
the ceiling tall enough for the lift to be usable at full height.
You could put an insulated closet off the back to contain the air
compressor. The compressor is annoying to have running inside the
work space because of the noise.
Your plans don't have any interior columns. Be sure to keep it that
way. My garage is 26 x 36 without any interior columns. It cost me
extra for the steel but it was money well spent.
You need much more natural lighting than those plans show. If
security isn't an issue put lots of windows or even skylights.
You could change the trusses to room trusses to gain overhead storage.
Plan storage cabinets, space for tool cabinets and space for work
benches. The rule of thumb is everything that doesn't have a space
ends up on the floor.
