What’s Included in An Electric Car Service?

The servicing of electric vehicles is similar to petrol and diesel cars. If you’re looking for a complete electric vehicle service, our technicians will conduct a thorough inspection.

We will check the condition of your tyres, wheel alignment, brakes, and other components specific to your electric vehicle. Here are some checks we conduct for electric vehicles specifically:

Inspect charging points and charging cables on your vehicle. Any potential damage could reduce the charging speed or stop it completely.
Checking the condition of high-voltage cables, as they could lead to electrical hazards or issues with charging.
Inspection of the inverted coolant levels to ensure it regulates the temperature of the engine and motor.
Usage of a diagnostic machine to gain and analyse more complex performance data of your electric vehicle.

After that, we’ll recommend any repairs to get your EV back to top-tier condition. Due to differences in technology, servicing for electric vehicles is typically more straightforward than service for traditional vehicles. This is because they have fewer parts that you need to service.

How Often Do I Need to Service My Electric Vehicle?

The range for servicing electric vehicles can be anywhere between 10,000 miles and 30,000 miles. The frequency of servicing on electric vehicles depends on the model and how much you use it. That said, we recommend a yearly service.
