EVs can save up to 50% on maintenance costs compared to fuel vehicles.
Did you know that when compared to gasoline vehicles, electric vehicles can save up to 50% on maintenance costs?
Buying a car is easier than maintaining one, as the saying goes. You only need to pay a one-time down payment and a monthly car loan to purchase a car. When it comes to car maintenance, you must pay for both fuel and routine maintenance. Electric vehicles can save car owners a lot of money on routine maintenance.
Electric vehicles can save a significant amount of money on regular maintenance costs because they have fewer moving parts and simpler components.
The following are the items that must be maintained for electric vehicles.
1. Fluids
Because electric vehicles lack an internal combustion engine, they do not require routine oil changes. However, four types of fluids must be replaced on a regular basis: hydraulic brake fluid, battery coolant, HVAC refrigerants, and transmission fluids.
2. 12V battery
A 12V battery is also used in electric vehicles to power the dashboard, windows, turn signals, and other components. Owners of electric vehicles must still inspect the 12V battery on a regular basis.
3. Brakes, Tyres, and Suspension
Electric vehicles, like gasoline vehicles, require regular inspections of tyres, brake discs, and suspension to ensure that these components are in good working order.
4. Filter
Although electric vehicles do not require the replacement of fuel, oil, or engine air filters, it is still necessary to replace the air filter in the car on a regular basis to prevent mould, dust, and other pollutants from entering the vehicle.
