One of the perks of going electric is fewer trips to the shop — no oil changes, fewer moving parts. But “less maintenance” isn’t “no maintenance,” and a lot of independent shops won’t touch EVs at all. We will.
What EVs still need
- Tires: EVs are heavy and have instant torque, so they can wear tires faster. Rotation and replacement matter.
- Brakes: regenerative braking helps, but brakes still need inspection — and can seize if rarely used.
- Suspension & steering: the extra battery weight works these components hard.
- Cabin air filter, coolant, and software-related electrical checks.
