Electric Vehicles have few moving parts. Say goodbye to oil changes and other routine checkups! However, there is no such thing as zero maintenance, what should you actually pay attention to?
As opposed to internal combustion engine vehicles, there is very little maintenance needed for an electric vehicle due to having much fewer moving parts. Here's what you need to do to keep your EV at its highest performance:
Electric Vehicles typically have sensors and cameras. Before driving the vehicle, make sure the vehicles is clean and the sensors/cameras are not blocked by any debris.
Ensure the tires are at the correct tire pressure, especially in cold weather. Low tire pressure eats up more range.
Under the hood: there is only one thing to do under the hood, fill up the windshield wiper fluid when it gets low.
Depending on the vehicle, every 2-3 years the vehicle should be taken into service for a diagnostic checkup, replace cabin air filters, brake fluid check, and other actions that may be needed.
Electric vehicles are heavy, make sure to rotate tires and eventually replace tires when the tread reaches its limit.
Some EVs offer Over-the-Air Software Updates (OTA), keep your vehicle up to date by connecting to Wi-Fi and downloading the update!
Consult the vehicle manual for any additional concerns.
