Electric Vehicle Servicing

Electric car servicing

Just like petrol or diesel cars, your electric car needs a routine service to stay in the best possible condition, but thankfully they’re generally a lot easier to maintain. That’s because electric vehicles are made up of fewer components than petrol or diesel vehicles – they don’t need spark plugs, exhausts, or fuel systems.

Electric cars are made up of three main components; the electric motor, an on-board charger, and an inverter, so there’s less to go wrong. Still, there are plenty of areas that will need to be checked over in order to work at their best, from your battery and brakes to your filters and fluids, so a regular service should be a key part of your electric car maintenance.

Electric car service cost

The cost of your electric car servicing will depend on the level of service (either a full or major service), and whether you book it together with your MOT. If you book them together, you’ll not only save money compared to booking them separately, but you’ll also save an extra trip to the garage.
