Maintenance every 2 years: brake fluid and other components such as air filter, cabin air filter and air conditioning system. In general, we recommend servicing an electric vehicle every 30,000 kilometres.
The rise of electric and hybrid vehicles has opened up new prospects for sustainable mobility. Keeping an electric vehicle running smoothly and extending its lifespan requires rigorous maintenance. In this article, we present a few simple and practical tips to ensure optimum maintenance of your electric or hybrid vehicle.
- Regularly check the tire pressure on your electric or hybrid vehicle: proper tire pressure is essential to optimize the efficiency and performance of your electric or hybrid vehicle. Under-inflated tires can lead to excessive energy consumption and premature wear.
- Check essential fluids regularly: as with conventional ICE vehicles, fluids play an essential role in the smooth operation of an electric or hybrid vehicle. Check the coolant, brake fluid and battery electrolyte levels regularly, as required. If necessary, make the appropriate top-ups or call one of our Verifié Électrique repair shops for a thorough check.
- Optimum charging for your electric or hybrid vehicle: choose reliable, certified charging stations. Avoid letting the battery discharge completely, as this can affect its lifespan. We also recommend that you do not recharge the battery at extreme temperatures, as this can impair its performance.
- Clean your vehicle regularly: regular aesthetic maintenance is just as important as mechanical maintenance. Clean your electric or hybrid vehicle regularly to prevent the build-up of dirt, dust and debris. Use suitable cleaning products and avoid high-pressure washing, which can damage sensitive electrical components.
