Comprehensive Guide to Electric Car Maintenance

There are several reasons electric cars require less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles.

Electric cars have less moving parts than gas-powered cars.
Spark plugs and drive belts are non-existent. Tune-ups, cooling system flushes, differential and transmission servicing aren’t needed.
The battery, the electric motor and other electronic parts are nearly maintenance-free.
The regenerative braking method used by electric cars creates minimal wear on the brakes.
Electric powertrains use less fluid, which includes engine oil.

Periodic maintenance checks will help eliminate future problems and will also keep your vehicle under warranty. Here’s a simple guide on how to maintain an electric car. We’ll give you just about everything you need to know in order to keep your Karma automobile running in prime condition.

The battery packs need to be maintained. The battery is very long lasting, but has a limited life cycle and can only be charged a certain number of times.
The regenerative brake system uses friction as a backup and will wear.
Tires can wear.

Here’s a good schedule to follow.

30-Day Intervals:

Check tire pressure and tire wear
Check washer fluid level

7,500-Mile Intervals

Check battery coolant level
Rotate tires
Check drive and power steering shafts
Lube door locks
Check gas struts
Inspect brakes, suspension, steering and chassis components
