Do hybrid and electric vehicles, (EV's) have the same service requirements as a normal petrol powered car?

In the past few years, the demand for eco-friendly vehicles has increased tremendously. People are becoming more conscious about their carbon footprint and the impact of their activities on the environment. One way of reducing the carbon footprint is by using Electric and Hybrid vehicles, and here in Nambucca Heads, we have seen a surge in the use of such vehicles.

But owning an Electric or Hybrid vehicle is not just about the benefits of reduced carbon emissions. It also comes with its set of challenges when it comes to servicing and maintenance. Luckily, Electric and Hybrid vehicle owners in Nambucca Heads need not worry as we offer reliable and professional service for these vehicles.

Our technicians are trained and experienced in handling all kinds of Electric and Hybrid vehicle maintenance requirements. From Electric vehicle charging stations to Hybrid car maintenance, we have got you covered.

Electric and Hybrid vehicles have both similarities and differences in comparison to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. While ICE vehicles use fossil fuels to power their engines, Electric and Hybrid vehicles use electric motors powered by rechargeable batteries. Therefore, when it comes to servicing an Electric or Hybrid vehicle, the primary focus should be on the battery and electric motor components.

Despite their differences, Electric and ICE vehicles share a lot of common components such as brakes, suspension, steering, and tires. That’s why servicing an Electric or Hybrid vehicle is very similar to an ICE vehicle. A trained and experienced mechanic can perform most of the servicing tasks like checking and replacing the brakes, inspecting and replacing suspension parts, replacing wiper blades and lights, etc.

Most Electric vehicle manufacturers suggest an annual service schedule, or after 15,000km, whichever comes first, to keep the vehicle safe to operate and to maintain the factory warranty. In addition to that, owners must keep their vehicles regularly serviced to maintain optimal battery health and performance. Proper servicing and maintenance not only ensure that the vehicle operates efficiently but also saves money in the long run by reducing the risk of expensive repairs and improving resale value.

When it comes to Green car technology, Electric and Hybrid vehicles have come a long way in the last decade. Electric vehicles are now able to offer ranges of 200 miles or more per charge, and there are thousands of charging stations throughout the country, making them more practical and convenient for daily use.

As the popularity of Electric and Hybrid vehicles continues to rise, the importance of maintaining them regularly will also increase. Whether it's a Hybrid car or a pure Electric vehicle, at our EV service center in Nambucca Heads, we are dedicated to providing reliable and professional service to our clients. 

By bringing your Electric or Hybrid vehicle to us for regular servicing, you can be sure that it will be running smoothly and efficiently for years to come.
