If you don’t follow the recommended schedule, your car may not be covered if it requires repairs.Īside from tire rotation, replacing the cabin air filter and wiper blades, and topping off the washer fluid, much of this comes down to various mechanical inspections.

All automakers insist owners follow a series of periodic checks and services in order to keep the vehicle’s warranty in effect. Sources suggest electric vehicle owners spend roughly a third of what conventionally powered auto owners do for regular service. An EV owner avoids having to pay for things like tune-ups, oil changes, cooling system flushes, transmission servicing, and replacing the air filter, spark plugs and drive belts. That’s because EVs eliminate over two-dozen mechanical components that would normally require periodic service. Electric vehicles also save their owners cash on an ongoing basis via lower long-term maintenance costs.
Though electric vehicles may still cost more to purchase than their conventionally powered counterparts, they’re generally cheaper to keep running via affordable home charging. It’s a lot less than with a conventionally powered model, that’s for sure.
