How different is electric vehicle servicing?

Electric vehicles share lots of similarities with diesel and petrol cars – they all have brakes, tyres, suspension, lights and electrics.

But there are also a couple of differences. Electric vehicles contain a motor and a battery pack rather than engines, which have a complex system of moving parts that range from pistons and gears to valves and drive belts.

This means that electric cars have fewer moving parts and suffer from less wear and tear in general. On the other hand, EV batteries are extremely high voltage and require very specific skills to safely service.

How often do I need to service my electric vehicle?

Service intervals for electric cars can differ, but you may find that you don’t need to service your electric vehicle as often due to the fewer parts involved.

For specific information about your car’s service intervals, check with your manufacturer or contact your local Arnold Clark branch.

How long do batteries in electric vehicles last?

Most manufacturers offer a warranty for three to eight years on electric car batteries, but most batteries last even longer than this. Some are even projected to last up to 20 years.

Which parts of an electric vehicle are checked during servicing?

Your technician will check all of the areas you’d expect during your service, including your brakes, tyres, suspension, lights and electrics.

But an electric vehicle service will also include checks of the electric motor(s), the battery pack and the high-voltage cabling.
