EV Maintenance in Kennesaw, GA

While it may not be obvious, an all-electric vehicle can be more cost-effective than a gas-powered one in the long run. When you make this eco-friendly switch, say goodbye to annoying routine maintenance that you would normally need for a gas-powered model. Here at Cobb County Toyota, we’re proud to sell economical EVs with certified technicians by our side to service these models with confidence. Read on to learn how all-electric vehicles come with minimal maintenance and we’ll convince you that making the switch is a no-brainer!

How Does Owning an EV Lower My Maintenance Costs?

Traditional maintenance will be a thing of the past when you upgrade to an EV — oil changes will no longer pester you! According to Car and Driver, all-electric vehicles are equipped with regenerative braking, which means you may not have to schedule frequent brake pad and rotor replacements as you would a gas-powered car. Plus, Green Cars states that maintenance costs for an EV is a third less than what a gas-powered vehicle requires! Keep in mind that this doesn’t include any costs covered by an EV battery warranty or new car warranty.

What EV-Specific Services Should I Schedule?

EVs still require some traditional routine maintenance such as cabin air filter changes, fluid flushes, windshield wiper replacements and tire rotations. An all-electric vehicle also has EV-specific service requirements that will help keep the vehicle running at its best and keep any current warranties intact. EV batteries are typically heavy, so you may need to schedule tire inspections and suspension services more often than you would with a gas-powered car. No matter what, refer to your owner’s manual for the details of your electric vehicle’s needs and when you should schedule those services. Finally, EVs have complex electrical and cooling systems that prevent the batteries from overheating, so if issues arise within your electric ride, we recommend getting it serviced by one of our expert technicians!
