EV Service & Maintenance: Taking Care of Your EV
March Of The EVs
Say goodbye to oil changes and messy filters and revolutionize the way you drive with an electric vehicle! While there are numerous reasons you should make the change, like having a cleaner method of driving and reduced service and maintenance costs, one of the pressing questions you may have is how to maintain an EV. Amidst the various sources of information out there, you don’t need to worry because we’ve got you covered. We’re giving you the Chevrolet EV service tips you need to know once you’ve decided that this innovative technology is right for you. Comparing EV car maintenance to that of gas-powered vehicles, we’ve prepared a comprehensive rundown of what you can expect out of your new ride. Once you’re ready to get behind the wheel of an EV, contact Moore’s Chevrolet today, and our friendly staff will happily give you a test drive of the future!
Starting Off
Getting to know how EV car maintenance works doesn’t mean that it’s all about servicing the battery. While that’s an imperative part of Chevy EV service, it’s also important to know about the other components that contribute to its functionality. Much like gas-powered vehicles, each part of an EV works with one another in harmony. Learning to employ the best Chevy EV service will continue to keep your next ride running like clockwork. For example, your EV will need tire changes, tire rotations, brake pad inspection and replacement, plus refilling the necessary fluids, like coolant, windshield wiper fluid, transmission fluid, and brake fluid. Keep in mind that while these Chevy EV service tips can be reflected in their gas-powered counterparts, you’ll be happy to know that EV car maintenance often costs less in the long run. Mostly due to the fact that since there are fewer moving components in an EV propulsion system, there isn’t as much that needs to be done. However, it’s still crucial that your EV is maintained over the course of your driving experience. Taking care of an EV isn’t a perfect parallel to gas-powered vehicles in terms of maintenance, as EV brake pads tend to last longer. This is in part due to the efficient regenerative braking aspect. While this is a plus, you might find yourself changing tires more often on your EV because the battery weighs heavier, and the instant torque of an EV motor can cause heavier wear on the tires.
Knowing Your EV
The most important Chevy EV service tip is maintaining battery health. This involves careful planning and consideration of when and where you use your vehicle. It’s easy to forget to fuel your vehicle amidst your daily hustle, so you may want to opt for the convenient and fast charging station nearby, which will quickly juice up your ride. While this is a marvelous feat, especially if you’re traveling long distances or you’re pressed for time, be mindful of using quick chargers all the time, as your battery’s health will undoubtedly decline. To curb this as best as possible, charge your EV at home to prolong the battery life, even though it’ll take longer. This isn’t just a Chevy EV service tip, but one that’s applied universally. And when you charge, make sure not to charge all the way. Your vehicle’s battery will perform optimally when regularly charged to between 85-90%, but if it’s filled all the way up, the battery can degrade over time. Be wary of the weather conditions as well because when it’s too hot or cold outside, your battery works harder to cool down or heat up, respectively.
