Electric vehicles (or EVs) are well known in the automotive world for providing unparalleled efficiency for their drivers. The harmony struck between an EV's electric motor and high-powered battery allows for a smooth, seamless experience for everyone on board. If you recently purchased a new Ford EV, you may be wondering if your gorgeous new model will require additional maintenance and repairs. While an EV does have its own set of EV-specific services, you may be surprised to learn that electric vehicles generally require less maintenance than gas-powered models. Curious to learn more?

WHAT EV-SPECIFIC SERVICES SHOULD I SCHEDULE?

There aren't many, and all are simple inspections, but in order to maintain its lifespan and remain covered under warranty, we suggest scheduling these services for your EV:

  • Tire and suspension inspections
  • Cooling system inspection
  • Charging equipment inspection

Since EVs are equipped with heavy-duty batteries, the weight places stress on the tires and suspensions. You may need to have your model's tires replaced more often, but tire rotations and balances can help extend the tires' lifespans. EVs also depend on the cooling system to regulate the temperature of the battery, so having it inspected per your owner's manual is a great idea. And of course, since you'll use the charging equipment every day, it can't hurt to have those components looked at by an expert when you bring your model in for service.
