One of the biggest advantages of an electric vehicle is the significantly fewer maintenance requirements. Although you will not need to bring your Ford electric vehicle in as often, there are still regular service requirements that need to be met for your electric vehicle to operate its best.
Tire maintenance is at the forefront of electric vehicle maintenance. Properly inflated tires improve the efficiency of your electric vehicle, and tire rotations will increase the longevity of your tires. We suggest bringing your Ford electric vehicle in for a tire rotation every 5,000-7,500 miles. While our service technicians are conducting your tire rotation, they will complete a multi-point assessment to determine if any other components should be addressed while you’re at Groove Ford Service Center.
Your electric vehicle will need to have the air filter and windshield wiper blades replaced, and the windshield wiper fluid and other fluids will need to be topped off on an as-needed basis. These services will typically be addressed and completed when you bring your Ford electric vehicle in for a tire rotation, though our service technicians at Groove Ford would be happy to complete these services in between services if your Ford electric vehicle needs it.
The mechanical makeup of an electric vehicle eliminates over two-dozen mechanical components when compared to those required in a combustion engine. Oil changes, transmission services, and spark-plug replacement services are all eliminated when you drive an electric vehicle. More service benefits of an electric vehicle include:
In having far fewer mechanical components to operate, electric vehicles have fewer parts that will wear out and need to be replaced.
Electric vehicles often utilize regenerative braking technology. Regenerative braking returns electricity to the motor when your vehicle slows down, resulting in less wear and more efficient braking. Although less frequent, your electric vehicle will still need to have the brakes inspected and replaced.
The batteries used to power electric vehicles are designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Electric vehicle batteries come with a comprehensive warranty, require little to no maintenance, and can help the owner save a substantial amount of money.
With fewer components needed to operate an electric vehicle, fewer components need to be serviced and less fluids will need to be replaced. The seldom maintenance of an electric vehicle is estimated to save electric vehicle owners nearly 30% when compared to the costs combustion engine vehicle owners incur over time.
You should check the tire pressure of your electric vehicle every 30 days, and schedule maintenance for a tire rotation every 5,000-7,500 miles. Replacing the air filter and wiper blades and fluid can be done on an as-needed basis.
The battery in your electric vehicle is designed to last for the expected lifespan of the vehicle. However, if you suspect there may be something wrong with your battery, Groove Ford technicians can inspect your vehicle to identify any issues.
Regenerative braking is when the electric motor slows the vehicle down when you brake and returns that energy to the battery.
The benefits of maintaining an electric vehicle include:
DWhen you purchase an electric vehicle, you no longer need to get oil changes, have your transmission serviced, or replace the air filter, spark plugs, and drive belts.
