At Maidenhead Tyres and Autocare, we’ve heavily invested in enhancing the skills of our workforce. Presently, we have several technicians accredited by IMI to service and repair Electric Vehicles.
Compared to conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs feature a simpler mechanical composition with fewer moving parts. Nevertheless, due to their high-voltage system, specialized expertise is necessary to service and uphold them effectively. EV servicing covers several key facets similar to those found in traditional combustion engines, such as brakes, suspension, cooling, and tires. Additionally, EV servicing entails the proper care of the high-voltage system, encompassing the electric motor, high-voltage battery, and associated cabling. These processes are essential to maintain battery health, maximize range, and ensure peak performance.
Because electric vehicles require fewer servicing items, the cost of EV servicing is generally lower than that of regular servicing. It’s important to recognize that hybrid vehicles still incorporate a combustion engine alongside a high-voltage battery, resulting in a more intricate servicing schedule. While the frequency of servicing varies by manufacturer and model, most recommend servicing every 12 months or 12,000 miles.
As the prevalence of EVs continues to surge, allocating resources to proper training and infrastructure for EV servicing becomes pivotal for a sustainable transportation future. At Maidenhead Tyres and Autocare, you can secure the longevity, performance, and reliability of your electric vehicle while benefiting from the expertise and assistance of professionals who comprehend the distinct requirements of EVs.
