One of the many mysteries of Electric Vehicle ownership is how often they need servicing, and what an EV service actually involves. While electric vehicles replace many familiar components, expert care is still essential.
Just like any vehicle, your EV requires regular maintenance to keep every system running smoothly, not just the powertrain.
At Lloyd Motor Group, our manufacter-trained technicians understand electric vehicles inside and out. While EVs have fewer moving parts, components like battery systems and regenerative braking require specialist knowledge and diagnostic equipment that we have right here.
Your Questions Answered - FAQs
How often does my EV need serviced?
Most electric vehicles require servicing every 12 months or 10,000-12,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, service intervals can vary by manufacturer, so it's best to check your vehicle's handbook or contact us for specific guidance. Regular servicing ensures your EV's battery, brakes, tyres, and other essential components are checked and maintained properly.
How long does an electric car's battery last?
Most EV batteries are designed to last between 10-20 years or around 100,000-200,000 miles. Modern EV batteries are remarkably durable and typically come with an 8-year warranty. Battery degradation is gradual, and most owners find their battery retains 70-80% of its capacity even after many years of use.
Do electric cars require less maintenance?
Yes. Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than petrol or diesel cars, which means less can go wrong. There's no engine oil to change, no spark plugs, timing belts, or exhaust systems to worry about. However, EVs still need regular checks on brakes, tyres, suspension, coolant, and battery health to keep them running safely and efficiently.
Do batteries need replacing often?
No. EV batteries are built to last the lifetime of the vehicle in most cases. They rarely need replacing and are covered by lengthy manufacturer warranties (typically 8 years or 100,000 miles). If battery capacity does drop significantly, it's usually a gradual process rather than a sudden failure.
