You may not have to include oil changes at your Chevy service appointment if you own an electric vehicle, but there are still many important service tasks that will help your EV run smoothly for years to come. James Martin Chevrolet has your complete guide to electric car maintenance.
Tire Maintenance
Tires see a lot of use, and their maintenance is important to ensure safety and fuel economy. Tires with low tread can be a safety concern, as they’ll be more prone to blowouts or a decrease in grip. Improperly inflated tires can affect both the safety performance of your EV as well as the range and MPGe. Getting these checked out during your regularly scheduled service appointment is a great way to get everything taken care of at once.
Fluid Levels
Just because your EV doesn’t require oil for the engine doesn’t mean there aren’t other fluids present. Electric vehicles still need maintenance for brake fluids, transmission fluids, and coolant in order to function at their peak and have an extended lifespan. Always check with your vehicle’s manual or local Chevrolet service team to know when you should get your vehicle checked out.
Standard Inspections
It’s a good idea to have your electric Chevrolet car inspected for other important functions like air conditioner performance, steering, and suspension. Over time, these features may wear out and need inspection or servicing to keep your ride comfortable and safe.
