Considering switching to an electric vehicle? Before you make the leap, take a moment to learn more about how owning an electrified ride can save you on maintenance costs.

How Does Owning an EV Lower My Maintenance Costs?

When you switch to an EV, you don’t need to schedule the same traditional engine maintenance that you would have in the past. As reported by Car and Driver, thanks to the regenerative braking technology found in electric vehicles, you won't need to schedule brake pad and rotor replacements as often as you would for a gasoline-powered car. Furthermore, Green Cars states that the cost of service for an electric vehicle is typically one-third less than a gasoline-powered vehicle. This estimate doesn't even take into account any potential costs that an EV battery warranty or a new car warranty may cover.

What Specific Services Should I Schedule?

Your electric, hybrid or plug-in hybrid will require routine maintenance, just like any other car. This includes changing the cabin air filter, flushing the fluids, replacing windshield wipers and rotating tires. In addition to these traditional services, there are also specific maintenance tasks that are unique to EVs. For instance, due to the heavy batteries in EVs, drivers may need to schedule more frequent tire inspections and suspension services than a traditional gas-powered vehicle.

To better understand the specific maintenance needs of your electrified car, it is important to refer to its owner's manual. Lastly, it is worth noting that these cars have complex electrical and cooling systems in place to prevent batteries from overheating. If you encounter any issues with your electrified vehicle, it is highly recommended to seek the expertise of a certified technician for servicing.
