If you’re ready to trade in your traditional gas-powered vehicle for one of the Ford EVs available at your local Ford dealer, you won’t regret your decision. When you invest in a Ford EV, you’ll benefit from the minimal Ford EV maintenance requirements are minimal, you’ll save money on gas, and you’ll be doing your part to support a greener future.
Once you purchase a Ford EV, whether that’s a new Ford F-150 Lightning, a Mustang Mach-E, or the E Transit, you’ll need to take steps to maintain it to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. The good news is that EVs save you money, help you do your part to reduce emissions, and require much less maintenance than traditional gas-powered vehicles.
Because they have fewer vehicle components and moving parts, these vehicles are far less likely to malfunction or experience significant issues requiring costly repairs or parts replacements. As a result, you’ll save money on gas and maintenance in the long term since you won’t need routine oil changes or other routine services.
The Importance of Scheduling EV Maintenance at Your Ford Dealer
When you schedule routine maintenance for your Ford EV at your local dealership’s service center, you’ll be taking the best care of your vehicle. Trusting your EV to the skilled and factory-trained Ford technicians will ensure it has exactly what it needs to look, feel, and drive like new year-round. The following are the primary services required of EV vehicles:
- Tire rotations
- Brake fluid service
- Cabin air filter replacements
- System checks
- Battery health checks
Caring for Your EV Battery
When you purchase a new EV, you’ll need to take steps to care for your battery by charging it consistently and preventing it from draining entirely. You can also extend the life of your electric battery by avoiding parking your vehicle in an area where it will receive prolonged sun exposure. Avoid constant, rapid acceleration and frequent braking, as both can negatively affect your battery health.
