Electric Car Maintenance

If you’re interested in purchasing an all-electric vehicle, you’re probably curious how the electric car maintenance process differs since they lack a standard gas engine. Since there are fewer moving parts in electric vehicles, you actually need to visit our service center less often and it can even cost you less money over time. To learn more, visit Sansone Hyundai today or continue reading.

How Does Electric Car Maintenance Differ? 

There are many differences when you compare the maintenance tasks needed for electric vehicles to cars with standard combustion engines, starting with the battery. Unlike a gas engine, the battery inside your EV will lose charge and range as time goes on and you drive it more and more. Most electric Hyundai models come with a 10-year warranty that will keep you protected if the battery wears out sooner than expected. 

Electric motors are newly introduced for EVs, but these parts won’t require any additional maintenance. You’ll also never have to worry about getting an oil change, one of the most common tasks our technicians complete. Since you’ll be visiting us less often with an electric vehicle, you’ll also save a lot of money compared to maintaining a car with a gas engine. 

What Maintenance Tasks Stay the Same? 

While the inner workings of electric and gas vehicles vary greatly, there are some maintenance procedures that you’ll still have to complete. For example, you’ll still need to keep up with liquid coolant maintenance since there is coolant inside the battery pack that helps prevent overheating. However, you’ll need to replace this coolant much less often than you would with standard engine coolant.

Another Hyundai part that remains largely the same is the suspension system. The suspension inside your vehicle wears out over time, depending on how much you drive it and what the road conditions are, so it doesn’t matter if you have a battery or gas engine.
