It may come as a surprise that electric car maintenance is far simpler than maintenance of a regular vehicle. With fewer moving parts, there’s far less to worry about. This makes electric car servicing and maintenance much easier and more cost effective.
An electric vehicle does need servicing at the same intervals as an non electric vehicle. Tyre wear and tear, windscreen wiper replacement along with brake fluid changes will all still be needed. Low tyre pressures can be unsafe and they’ll reduce your range – expect roughly a 1% drop if your tyres are five pounds per square inch (PSI) below the recommended figure.
Like any car, an MOT will be needed after three years but with no emissions test and with fewer parts to test, repairs could be minimal.
