Even though they have unique powertrains, electric vehicles still need routine maintenance to keep them running smoothly. When you need expert Mercedes-Benz service in Annapolis, MD, you can rely on the technicians at Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis.
How Does EV Maintenance Differ?
Typically, it’s recommended that drivers have their vehicle maintained every 10,000 miles. However, an electric vehicle (EV) doesn’t need a majority of the maintenance that a gasoline-powered vehicle requires. You can avoid all of the maintenance needed for an engine (and its related components) including oil changes, spark plug replacements, and coolant flushes.
Every 10,000 Miles
Even though it doesn’t need as much maintenance, we still recommend that you have your EV serviced every 10,000 miles. It is crucial that your vehicle undergoes regular inspections by our skilled technicians. Your car may also need periodic part replacements, such as your windshield wiper blades. Plus, you should have your tires rotated at least every 10,000 miles, which can keep them from wearing unevenly and improve their lifespan.
Every 20,000 Miles
Every 20,000 miles, you’ll need to schedule a more thorough maintenance appointment. This includes a careful inspection of your vehicle, including your battery, which is the lifeline of an EV. There are also a multitude of maintenance tasks that your vehicle requires, including:
- Checking the charging cable and vehicle socket for damage
- Dust filter replacement
- Windshield wiper fluid top-off
- Brake fluid replacement
- Brake inspection
- Brake pad and disc inspection (and replacement, if needed)
- Tire inspection (tire tread, tire pressure, etc.)
