What Services Does My EV Require?

Hyundai EV Maintenance in Cumming, GA

Everyone knows that since electric vehicles, or EVs, drive on an alternative powertrain, they require zero stops at the gas station to fill up, saving you time and money at the pump. But did you also know that EVs have been proven to require less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles? That's even better news for EV owners! Here at Hyundai of Cumming, our technicians are prepared to assist you in all of your automotive service needs — even if you won't be around as often. And our help extends to answering a couple of questions about maintenance that many of our customers in Cumming, GA, are wondering about their EVs. Keep reading to learn our answers!

How Does Owning an EV Lower My Maintenance Costs?

Electric vehicles don't use traditional gas-powered engines, which means repairs such as drive belt replacements, oil changes and differential services don't apply to your EV. According to Green Cars, electric vehicles don't have as many mechanical components that receive wear and tear (and subsequently break down), so servicing an EV will cost around a third of what you'd expect to service a gas-powered model. For example, since EVs use regenerative braking, the brake pads and rotors won't need replacements as often, according to Car and Driver. And since Hyundai offers a 10-year/100,000-mile hybrid/EV battery warranty, any manufacturer defects and other qualifying repairs will be covered.

What EV-Specific Services Should I Schedule?

There won't be many, and most are simple inspections. But in order to extend the lifespan of your EV, here are some of the services we recommend scheduling at your local Hyundai dealership :

  • Tire inspections and replacements
  • Suspension inspections
  • Cooling system inspections
  • Charging equipment inspections

Because EVs are powered by heavy batteries, they may need frequent tire and suspension inspections, and at times, more frequent tire replacements. The cooling system maintains the battery’s temperature, so performing frequent inspections of the A/C and coolant levels is a good idea. You'll also use the charging equipment — like the power inverter, charger module and accessory power — for your EV every day.
