Summary
As an electric car owner, you need to master the knowledge of electric car maintenance. This can make your vehicle performance safer, the driving experience better, and your maintenance costs lower.
As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, it's critical to understand their unique maintenance requirements. Unlike traditional cars, EVs offer a different driving experience and require a unique approach to care. Join Keying as we explore the key aspects of EV maintenance to keep your car in tip-top shape.
1. Battery Maintenance
The battery is the heart of an electric car. How to extend its life and performance is key to our maintenance. For battery health monitoring, the battery's state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) need to be checked regularly. Most modern Battery electric vehicles have this system built in.
Good charging habits can extend the life of your battery: Use slow charging whenever possible. Keep the battery charge between 20% and 80%. Also, avoid extreme temperatures as they can reduce performance and life.
2. Electric Motor and Drivetrain Maintenance
Electric motors require less maintenance than internal combustion engines, but they still need to be checked regularly. In particular, the cooling system, to ensure that the motor's cooling system is working properly to prevent overheating; and the drive component inspection, to check the wear of drivetrain components such as the transmission and axles.
3. Tire Maintenance
Proper tire maintenance is essential for safety and efficiency. Like gas-powered vehicles, electric cars also require regular tire pressure checks, as electric vehicles are heavier and will increase tire wear; tread depth checks are also required, and tires are monitored and replaced as needed for optimal grip.
4. Brake System Inspection
Both electric and gas cars rely on brake fluid to regulate the adhesive. Regardless of the powertrain your vehicle uses, regular flushing and replacement of brake fluid are necessary services. Regular inspection and replacement of electric vehicle brake fluid, brake pads, etc. can ensure the safety of vehicle use and extend the life of the vehicle.
5. Software Updates
Electric automobiles have complex software systems that control various functions. Therefore, regular updates and keeping the vehicle software up to date can improve the performance of the vehicle. At the same time, it is necessary to monitor the performance of the vehicle using the on-board diagnostic program to keep abreast of the vehicle.
6. Home Charging Station Setup
It is essential to set up a home charging station. Choosing the right charger, such as a Level 2 charger, can reduce charging time. For safety precautions, you need to follow the installation guide and consider hiring a professional.
