Ford EV Maintenance


What Services Does My EV Require?

Ford EV Maintenance in Alpharetta, GA

EVs, or electric vehicles, have been proven to require less maintenance, drive more efficiently and cost less to charge in comparison to the cost of fueling gas-powered models. But just like any complex mechanical system, EVs still require regular maintenance to run smoothly. That's where Angela Krause Ford comes in. Our expert technicians are not only trained in all things Ford, but they can service your EV just as well as a gas-powered vehicle. Trust us with your service needs and schedule an appointment today!

How Does Owning an EV Lower My Maintenance Costs?

Since your Ford EV doesn't have a traditional engine, repairs such as tune-ups, spark plug and drive belt replacements, oil changes and differential services don't apply to your vehicle. Car and Driver also notes that since EVs use regenerative braking, you won't need to replace brake pads and rotors as often. Because electric vehicles don't have as many mechanical components that break down or receive wear and tear, servicing an EV will cost around a third of what you'd expect to spend to service a gas-powered model, according to Green Cars. And since Ford offers an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty, your EV will be covered in case of any manufacturer defects.

What EV-Specific Services Should I Schedule?

Besides the occasional air filter change, fluid flush, windshield wiper replacement or tire rotation, an electric vehicle will need specific services to maintain and extend its lifespan and remain covered under its warranty. Because of the battery, EVs are heavier than gas-powered vehicles, so they may need frequent tire inspections and replacements as well as suspension services. Refer to your owner's manual for the recommended intervals for inspections of the cooling system (since it's needed to cool your model's battery) and charging equipment, such as the power inverter, accessory power and charger modules. EVs also use elaborate electrical systems, so if you run into a malfunction, bring your model to a dealership for service.
