An EV (electric vehicle)
service focuses on maintaining the unique systems that keep your electric car running smoothly – as well as the usual checks you’d expect on any modern vehicle.
While EVs don’t require oil changes or traditional engine maintenance, a standard service will typically include:
Category | What’s Checked |
Battery health | Inspection of the high-voltage battery condition, charge capacity, and connectors |
Brake system | Pads, discs, brake fluid levels, and brake operation |
Cooling system | Check coolant levels for the battery and motor where applicable |
Tyres and wheels | Tread depth, pressure, condition, and wear pattern |
Steering and suspension | Components checked for wear, damage, or misalignment |
Lights and electrics | All exterior and interior lights, indicators, and infotainment systems tested |
Charging port | Inspected for wear, corrosion, or damage |
Software updates | System diagnostics and software updates applied where needed |
Cabin air filter | Replaced if necessary, for optimal ventilation and air quality |
Wipers and windscreen | Checked for effectiveness and visibility |
Some manufacturers may also include specific checks unique to their models, such as battery cooling lines or regenerative braking systems.
