ESSENTIALS OF [ ELECTRICAL VEHICLE ] MAINTENANCE TASKS
Battery & Cooling System:
While the battery is sealed, monitoring the coolant levels for the battery pack and power electronics is crucial to prevent overheating.
Tires:
EVs are heavier and have instant torque, causing faster tire wear. Regular rotation and checks for proper inflation are necessary.
Brakes:
Regenerative braking reduces brake usage, but this can lead to rust or corrosion from underuse. Periodic cleaning and inspection are required to ensure they function properly.
Software Updates:
Manufacturers often provide over-the-air updates that improve performance and fix issues.
Fluid Checks:
Brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, and sometimes gearbox lubrication need checks, though not at the frequency of traditional oil changes.
