Servicing Your Electric Vehicle

Capital Eurocars knows the future of driving is electric. That’s why we want to help get you up to speed on what it means to own and drive the new generation of electric vehicles.

While some elements of servicing an electric vehicle remain unchanged from vehicles powered by fossil fuels – like tires, etc. – there are some key differences.

And we’ll start with the best news

PHEV and HEV vehicles have internal combustion engines and so their maintenance & safety records will be similar to these older models. However, they should need brake replacement less often because of the regenerative braking used on electric models.

As we mentioned, all-electric vehicles typically require less maintenance than conventional vehicles because:

• Battery, motor & other electronics require little to no regular maintenance.
• There are fewer fluids (like engine oil) that require regular maintenance.
• Brake wear is significantly reduced due to regenerative braking.
• There are far fewer moving parts relative to an internal combustion engine.
