Wheels & Tyres
Although an EV doesn’t have a combustion engine, the addition of large lithium-ion batteries makes EVs on average 30% heavier than traditional petrol-powered cars. This extra weight combined with greater acceleration speeds causes tyres to wear down more quickly. The tyres on an EV can wear out 20% faster than combustion counterparts. So, inspecting the tyres during a service is a must.
12 Volt Battery
Many EVs still
come equipped with a regular 12-volt lead acid car battery. The standard car battery
ensures critical systems like airbags and central locking are still operational
in the event the main high voltage battery is disconnected or loses its charge.
Brakes pads
One advantage offered by electric vehicles is the ability to use regenerative breaking. EV’s can use electric motors to slow down the car and recover energy to charge the battery. Since electric cars use their motors to do most of the breaking, their brake pads tend to last longer. Still, these critical components that need to be inspected properly to ensure your vehicle can come to a safe stop.
Fluid check
Even though an EV doesn’t need engine oil there are still plenty of other fluid levels that need to be checked, such as the coolant and brake fluid. Factory specific fluid changes at the required service intervals can help prevent expensive failures and ensure your vehicles longevity.
