This streamlined maintenance means less time in the garage and lower long-term costs.
EVs generally require less frequent servicing than petrol or diesel vehicles. However, regular checks are still essential to:
Maintain performance and safety Keep your warranty valid Extend the lifespan of key components Battery and electric motor checks Coolant and brake fluid levels Suspension system inspections Software updates and diagnostics
Electric vehicle batteries are built to last—typically 10 to 15 years in the vehicle, and most manufacturers offer 8 to 10-years warranties on batteries, ensuring long-term reliability.
When a battery reaches the end of its automotive life, it can be:
Repurposed for home or grid energy storage
Recycled to recover valuable materials
Refurbished for secondary use
Used in research and development to improve future battery tech
Electric vehicle servicing requires specialist training and tools. For the best results:
