Now that you have purchased an electric vehicle, you may be wondering what kind of maintenance it will need to keep it running in top condition. You don’t have a gas-powered engine to take care of, but you will need to keep your battery in top shape and have your tires and brakes checked regularly. Contact us with any questions about maintenance on your Kia.
The battery in your EV is one of the most important parts, not to mention the most expensive to replace. Taking care of your battery on your daily drives around Leominster will save you money and headaches. Here are some electric vehicle maintenance tips to keep your battery in good condition:
Your electric vehicle maintenance schedule depends on what you are driving around Fitchburg. If you have a fully electric vehicle, you will still need to have your tires checked and rotated. You will also need to have the brakes inspected and fluids topped off. Both of these need to be done every 5,000 or six months, depending on where and how much you drive. If you have a hybrid or plug-in hybrid, your maintenance schedule will be similar to a gas-powered car because you still have a gas engine. You will need to get regular oil changes every 7,500 miles or so. Use the convenient online service scheduler to get your next appointment at Ron Bouchard Kia.
One of the best things about owning an EV is the low cost of maintenance. You don’t have to worry about an engine, tune-ups, a coolant system, or an alternator. Electric vehicle maintenance costs run around $0.06 cents per mile, while a gas-powered car costs around $.10 a mile to maintain. If you drive about 15,000 miles a year around Gardner, your electric vehicle maintenance will cost about $600 per year.
Come to Ron Bouchard Kia to keep your electric vehicle running right. If you aren’t driving electric yet, stop by and take a look at our hybrid and electric inventory today!
