- Electric vehicles (EVs) require less frequent servicing than combustion-powered cars due to fewer moving parts, but they are not entirely maintenance-free.
- The battery pack and electric motor need annual health checks to monitor for degradation, which can affect the vehicle's range.
- EVs' heavier weight and instant throttle response put more strain on tyres, necessitating regular inspection and replacement when tread depths fall below 3mm.
- While regenerative braking reduces wear on discs and pads, these components, along with suspension parts like springs and shock absorbers, still require periodic checks for wear and corrosion.
- EVs contain essential fluids, such as transmission oil (in some models) and coolant for battery temperature regulation, which need checking and replacement according to manufacturer guidelines, alongside standard items like wiper blades and screenwash.
