While an electric vehicle is certainly advanced, it’s not as complex as it may seem. In fact, EVs typically have fewer service needs than their gas-powered counterparts. Fields Volvo Cars Northfield outlines the service that an EV requires.
Fluid Level Checks
There are a variety of fluids in a Volvo EV, which you should monitor regularly and refill as needed. At your service visits, we will replace them, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations outlined in your owner’s manual. These fluids include brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, and windshield wiper fluid.
Tire Rotation
Tire rotations are an essential maintenance task for any vehicle. Tires naturally wear down unevenly, which leaves you prone to blowouts while you’re driving. To limit the wear, tire rotations should be completed annually. We’ll also inspect your tires to ensure they have adequate tread and pressure.
Brake Inspections
For your safety, your brake system should also be inspected regularly. We will check each part to look for any unusual wear, damage, or leaks. We’ll also check your brake pads and replace them when they’ve become too worn or thin.
Service Exemptions
Since a Volvo EV is powered by an electric motor, rather than an internal combustion engine, it does have service exemptions. There are many service tasks that you may have needed in the past with an engine-powered vehicle that you no longer need. These tasks include all engine-related maintenance, such as engine oil changes, filter replacements, spark plug replacements, and more.
