Genesis EV Maintenance
Genesis EV Maintenance in Kennesaw, GA
Here in Kennesaw, GA, our customers know that electric vehicles can eliminate their fuel costs and gas-station stops, but we find that many don't know that EVs tend to require less maintenance than gas-powered models. However, it's a myth that EVs won't need maintenance to run smoothly — after all, these vehicles do contain complex mechanical systems that require the attention of trained professionals. That's where we come in. The team of technicians at Genesis of Kennesaw know your Genesis EV inside and out, and we'd love to help you extend its lifespan with regular service and repair. Schedule your next service appointment with us online today.
How Does Owning an EV Lower My Maintenance Costs?
Because electric vehicles lack traditional engines, there are a few repairs that no longer apply. For example, oil changes and drive belt replacements will be a thing of the past when you're an EV owner. Car and Driver also found that since EVs use regenerative braking, you won't have to replace brake pads and brake rotors as often. In fact, because electric vehicles don't have as many components that receive wear and tear (and then break down, requiring service), the cost to service an EV is around a third of what you'd spend to service a gas-powered model, according to Green Cars.
What EV-Specific Services Should I Schedule?
Don't worry — there aren't many, and most are simple inspections that can be performed during your next appointment. Electric vehicles will still need the occasional fluid flush, wiper replacement and tire rotation just like their gas-powered counterparts, but here are a few services that EVs need in order to maintain and extend their lifespans:
- Tire inspections and (when needed) replacements
- Suspension inspections
- Cooling system inspections
- Charging equipment inspections
See? Simple enough. EVs are heavier than gas-powered vehicles because they're equipped with heavy-duty batteries, so they may need more frequent tire inspections and replacements as well as suspension services. The cooling system is important on an EV, too, because they maintain the battery's temperature, and it's obvious that the charging equipment for an EV is vital to its everyday operation. Having these mechanical systems inspected per your owner's manual will help your EV remain covered under warranty and drive as smoothly as the day you purchased it from us.
