EV maintenance

Electric vehicle (EV) fleet maintenance is simpler than petrol or diesel vehicles due to fewer moving parts and there being no need for oil changes or servicing which in turn reduced labour costs. The key areas that EV maintenance focuses on are:

Batteries and motor

These crucial components require minimal maintenance but should be monitored for optimal performance.

Brakes

EVs use regenerative braking, which reduces wear on brake pads and discs. However, regular checks are still necessary during servicing.

Oil and coolant

While EVs require these fluids, they need less frequent topping up and replacement compared to petrol or diesel cars.

Tyres and suspension

The weight of EV batteries can stress tyres and suspension systems. Regular inspections ensure they remain in good condition, critical for safety and performance.
