What Are the Top Services You Can Get For Your Electric Vehicle?

Compared to a traditional car, an electric vehicle has fewer moving parts. However, there are still some mechanical components that need proper care and attention as they experience normal wear and tear with time. So, to ensure uninterrupted performance and functionality, below are a few maintenance tips that you can get for your EV:

• Brake inspection: In this, the technicians will inspect the various brake components, such as calipers, brake lines, rotors, and brake pads, for proper functioning. 
• Cabin air filter inspection: Get a cabin air filter inspection service to ensure optimal airflow through the heating and air conditioning system of your electric car. 
• Wiper blade service: No matter which vehicle you drive, the rubber on the wiper blades tends to wear over time. To ensure the wiper blades are cleaning the windshield properly, get your wiper blades replaced by our experts at Charlesglen Toyota. 
• Tire maintenance and inspection: In EVs, regular tire maintenance service becomes even more important because the tire tread can wear more quickly than usual. This is because of the instant torque and the additional weight from the electric battery.

How Often Should You Get Service For Your EV?

Our electric vehicle service experts at Charlesglen Toyota recommend regular service maintenance for a Toyota EV every six months or 8,000 kilometres. This is almost the same maintenance interval as gas models. But if you’re facing problems with your vehicle at any time, one of our Charlesglen Toyota experts is ready and waiting to assist. For more information on needed services, please refer to your owner’s manual.
