Electric Vehicle Service in Naperville, IL
Land Rover Naperville is proud to say that we extend our service beyond just gas-powered engines, but to electric (EV) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) as well! EVs do have similar basic maintenance needs as gas-powered engines, but most of the expensive engine work is no longer a concern as EVs do not utilize engines. EVs do need regular maintenance, but it’s just on a different schedule than traditional vehicles. Land Rover of Naperville has compiled a list of things to consider when thinking about servicing your EV and PHEV. And, if needed, come in today and our crew of certified technicians can take care of you. Give us a call at 630-413-0694 or click here to schedule Land Rover EV service.
BASIC MAINTENANCE
This category includes general tasks that most vehicle owners would think of when it comes to car maintenance. These tasks are the same for EVs. They include tire rotation, replacing the cabin air filter, and replenishing windshield wiper fluid.
BRAKE PADS
EV’s still need brake pads maintained and serviced. However, thankfully, regenerative braking makes this a much easier process. Regenerative braking takes the kinetic energy of your vehicle and uses it to slow it down. This means less wear and tear on your vehicle’s brakes in addition to greater stopping power.
FLUID CHECKS
Even without the need for regular oil changes, EVs still require other fluid checks. These vehicles still hold things such as brake fluid and coolant and these fluids should be monitored and brought in for service and change whenever necessary. It is recommended to get brake fluid inspected and changed every 22,000 miles or two years. Coolant should be changed over every 150,000 miles or five years.
TIRES
As with any car, your EV will need regular tire maintenance as well. It is recommended that every 7,500 miles or every six months you get the tires rotated. We recommend referencing your owner’s manual for specific tire recommendations.
BATTERY
The lithium-ion batteries that power EVs offer greater energy density and tend to hold a charge longer, however, every battery in an EV that is sold in the U.S. comes with a warranty that lasts for a minimum of eight years or up to 100,000 miles.
