How Does Owning an EV Lower My Maintenance Costs?

Making the switch to an EV means that you won’t have to worry about certain engine maintenance, such as oil changes. Also, thanks to the EV’s regenerative braking function, brake pad and rotor replacements will have to be done less frequently as compared to a gas-powered ride. According to Green Cars , maintenance costs for an EV amount to approximately one-third of what you’d typically spend to service a gas-powered model.

What EV-Specific Services Should I Schedule?

However, in order to keep your all-electric model functioning at its best, regular maintenance, like cabin air filter changes, fluid flushes, tire rotations and windshield wiper replacements, along with other EV-specific services, are still required. Since EV batteries are pretty heavy, don’t forget to schedule frequent tire and suspension checkups as well. Review your owner’s manual to learn more about the types of service your EV needs. Finally, because EVs have extensive electrical and cooling systems to prevent overheating in batteries, it’s ideal to get a qualified technician to resolve any problems that may arise.
