What Maintenance is Needed for Electric Cars?

An electric car is obviously different from traditional gas-powered models. As such, without a mechanical engine, you won't need any oil changes, tune ups, or transmission services.

Even so, there are still some maintenance items that need to be completed on an electric car. For example, you will always want to keep an eye on your tires. You should do a tire pressure check monthly and have your tires rotated every 7,500 miles.

Other maintenance items you may need on an electric car include changing the windshield wiper blades, replacing the air cabin filter, and checking the windshield washer fluid regularly. These are small items that can make a big difference over the years.

Brake Service for Electric Vehicles

While an electric vehicle does not require the same care under the hood, your brakes remain a vital part of how your vehicle operates. This means you should have your brakes checked regularly and make any necessary updates as needed.

Your brakes will still wear over time and you will have to replace the brake fluid every few years as well, depending on how much you drive. Keeping up with regular inspections of your vehicle to make sure everything works properly can be a good way to know the health of your brakes and if you need any repairs.

Whether you drive an electric car or traditional gas-powered car, your brakes will function the same way, so you want to make sure they are in working order at all times.
