Since they don’t have an engine, electric vehicles don’t require as much maintenance as a gasoline-powered vehicle, which is one of their many perks. However, they will still need some TLC. We’ve got a few Honda maintenance tips at Heritage Honda Bel Air to help you keep your EV running like new.
Keep an Eye on Your Battery
The battery is the heart of an electric vehicle (EV). It’s important to regularly inspect your battery to look for any loose components or unusual wear.
Monitor Your Charge
There are a number of factors that can affect your battery life. It’s important to not charge your EV too completely or let it get too low. Try to avoid charging in extreme temperatures as well.
Check Your Fluid Levels
Even though EVs don’t require engine oil, they still have multiple fluids including coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield wiper fluid. You need to check your levels often and have them replaced routinely.
Rotate Your Tires
Regular tire rotations help to limit uneven wear on your tires. Uneven wear can lead to flats, so this is a vital part of routine maintenance. It’s also important to regularly inspect your tires and look for low pressure or tread.
Wash Your Vehicle
Dirt and grime on vehicles can lead to rust and corrosion. We recommend regularly washing your vehicle to protect its exterior. We recommend using an EV carwash, which uses lower pressure to help protect your vehicle’s components.
