Hyundai Electric Vehicle Service in Schaumburg, IL
The concept of an electric vehicle (EV) may be confusing to some, but the idea is quite simple. An EV is designed to be a more environmentally friendly vehicle, but one that does not sacrifice luxury, performance and comfort. However, like any vehicle, EV’s do need regular maintenance, but the timeline for maintenance is different compared to gas-powered engines. Below you can see a list of things to service on your EV. We at Patrick Hyundai have a team of Hyundai-trained technicians who can take care of your EV and get it back on the road good as new.

Basic maintenance
This category includes general tasks that most vehicle owners would think of when it comes to car maintenance. These tasks are the same for EVs. They include: tire rotation, replacing the cabin air filter, and replenishing windshield wiper fluid.
Brake pads
EV’s still need brake pads maintained and serviced. However, thankfully, regenerative braking makes this a much easier process. Regenerative braking takes the kinetic energy of your vehicle and uses it to slow it down. This means less wear and tear on your vehicle’s brakes in addition to greater stopping power.
Fluid checks
Even without the need for regular oil changes, EV’s still require other fluid checks. These vehicles still hold things such as brake fluid and coolant and these fluids should be monitored and brought in for service and change whenever necessary. It is recommended to get brake fluid inspected and changed every 22,000 miles or two years. Coolant should be changed over every 150,000 miles or five years.
Tires
As with any car, your EV will need regular tire maintenance as well. It is recommended that every 7,500 miles or every six months you get the tires rotated. We recommend referencing your owner’s manual for specific tire recommendations.
Battery
The lithium ion batteries that power EVs offer greater energy density and tend to hold a charge longer, however, every battery in an EV that is sold in the U.S. comes with a warranty that lasts for a minimum of eight years or up to 100,000 miles.
