How Often Should My EV Be Serviced? 

Regular maintenance intervals are key to long life and reliability from any vehicle. While the maintenance intervals for hybrid vehicles are similar to a conventional internal combustion vehicle, electric maintenance intervals can look quite different. In the severe driving conditions of New Orleans preventative maintenance is key trouble free operation! Key systems such as battery health, inverter cooling systems, final drive cooling systems, braking systems and suspensions benefit from regular checks to maintain optimal function. We believe no matter what type of vehicle or how little it is being used all vehicles benefit from being checked once every six months or twice per year. 

What Type of Preventative Maintenance Is Needed on My EV? 

All vehicles benefit from being regularly inspected. Our Digital Vehicle Inspection helps give a clear and understandable assessment. 

• BRAKES: Electric Vehicles use the same brake fluid actuated hydraulic braking systems as all other cars. Because of special considerations for regenerative braking and pumps that pressurize the braking systems, electric vehicle braking systems need more regular brake fluid exchanges than traditional vehicles. Electric vehicles also have brake pads and brake rotors like traditional vehicles that need to be regularly measured and checked.
• AIR CONDITIONING: Electric vehicles use high voltage electric compressors to power the system. Specific oil and Electric vehicle specific air conditioning equipment is needed to maintain and repair EV air conditioning systems. Electric vehicles have similar lines, valves, heat exchange devices and climate control systems to internal combustion vehicles. Electric vehicles also have in cabin particulate filters for the HVAC system that need to be changed regularly
• TIRE SERVICE: Electric vehicles weigh more than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. Regular tire rotations and tire pressure checks will help maximize the lifespan of your tires. A properly aligned car will not only be safer to drive, it will also help you get the full life out of your tires. We offer our tire protection plan on all tires, including EV tires!
• FLUID EXCHANGES: While Electric Vehicles do not have engine oil or gasoline in them there are many fluids that should be changed at regular intervals. Essential fluids such as brake fluid, coolant, final drive unit oil, and refrigerant should be exchanged at regular intervals.
