Driving an electric vehicle offers you a variety of benefits, including savings on service. One of the most common questions that we get here at our Kia dealership in Midlothian is about the cost of EV maintenance. Are EVs less expensive to maintain? The short answer is yes, it is generally less expensive to maintain an EV than it is to service a traditional gas-powered car. Furthermore, you have a team of Kia experts at the ready here at our service center who are prepared to provide your Kia EV with the care it needs to keep it running smoothly.
What Do EVs Need in Terms of Service?
EVs need routine maintenance like any other car. However, the main difference between an all-electric vehicle and a traditional gas-powered vehicle when it comes to maintenance is the engine, or lack thereof. Many of the vital components in a gas-powered car that require the most maintenance are geared toward making sure that the engine stays in tip-top shape.
Traditional cars need regular oil changes, belt and hose replacements, engine tune-ups, and more. EVs lack an internal combustion engine, so they don't need a lot of the services that keep a conventional vehicle running smoothly. EVs Still need regular services, such as tire rotations, brake service, battery checks, and the like, but you can save on the boons afforded to you by not having to service an engine.
