EV Maintenance: An electric vehicle also needs regular care and technical checks. Although some classic combustion-engine maintenance tasks no longer apply – oil changes, spark plugs, timing belts – many safety-related and mechanical components remain. Regular electric car maintenance therefore makes a decisive contribution to safety, reliability and residual value.
EV Maintenance
What Is Checked During Servicing
When servicing an electric car we look at the vehicle as a complete system. Depending on the vehicle type and the scope of the service, we check:
- braking system and suspension
- tyres, steering and lighting
- air conditioning and cooling systems
- fluid levels
- electrical components as well as visible cables and connections
Why Brakes Deserve Special Attention on an Electric Car
The braking system deserves particular attention on electric vehicles. Because of regenerative braking, the mechanical brake is used considerably less. That is precisely the problem: corrosion, wear or seized components develop because the brake is no longer regularly cleaned by use. Regular brake servicing helps to maintain reliable function.
Cooling Systems in Focus
Cooling systems do more than provide interior comfort – they also regulate the temperature of the battery, the power electronics and other components. We therefore pay careful attention to any visible leaks, fluid levels and the function of the relevant systems.
Essential or Advisable – We Make the Difference Clear
We discuss any irregularities found openly with you. Essential and advisable work are clearly separated. That way you know what should be dealt with promptly and which measures can sensibly be planned for later. The result is reliable operation and peace of mind on every journey.
