Electric vehicles lack many of the components that account for a lot of the maintenance that traditional gas-powered cars need, making them easier to maintain overall. Of course, that doesn't mean that EVs are maintenance-free. They still need routine checkups and some common services to keep them running smoothly. So, if you're curious about what it takes to keep an EV in tip-top shape, be sure to connect with us here at Ed Koehn Ford of Wayland to learn more.
Here are a few EV service tips:Tire Service
Regular tire services like tire rotation are just as necessary for EVs as they are for any other kind of vehicle. Tire rotations help the tires on your Mustang Mach-E last longer, which can help you save money on tires in the long run. Plus, tire rotations help to promote even tread, which helps your EV perform more efficiently.
Motor Check
If you put an electric motor and an internal combustion engine side by side, it's easy to see that the motor is a considerably less complicated piece of machinery. Still, getting your EVs various motor components checked can help to ensure that your EV performs at full strength.
Brake Service
EV brakes tend to wear out slower than brakes on traditional cars, but they still need checkups and repairs now and then. Components like brake pads need to be replaced periodically, so it's a good idea to bring your EV to our Ford service center serving Wayland, MI and Byron Center, MI for regular brake checks.
Other Typical Maintenance Items
Many of the services to keep track of for your EV are fairly simple. We recommend that you keep an eye on your tires for proper pressure and tread, make sure you have plenty of washer fluid, and check your exterior lights periodically. Little things like these can go a long way in keeping your EV running smoothly around Caledonia, MI and Hastings, MI.
