Yes! Just like any other car, your electric vehicle (EV) requires regular maintenance and repairs from cabin filter replacements to tyres and EV brakes.

Electric Car Servicing FAQs

Do you have a question about servicing your Tesla, BYD, Polestar or other electric vehicle? Read on below or contact us at one of our 5 inner city locations.

What servicing is required for an electric car?

Electric vehicles (EVs) generally require less maintenance than traditional petrol or diesel cars, but there are still important areas that need attention. Routine servicing for an EV typically includes checking the battery’s health, rotating and maintaining the tyres, inspecting and maintaining the brake system (including fluid, pads, and discs), and changing the coolant to ensure the battery does not overheat. Additionally, software updates are often needed to keep the vehicle’s systems running efficiently. Regular servicing is essential to ensure the safety and longevity of your electric vehicle.

Do EV batteries need to be serviced?

Yes, EV batteries need to be inspected as part of regular maintenance. Although electric vehicle batteries are designed to last many years, their capacity can decrease over time. Regular battery health checks are essential to ensure optimal performance and prevent any sudden drops in range or efficiency.

Do electric cars need oil?

No, electric vehicles do not require engine oil because they don’t have traditional combustion engines. However, EVs do use lubricants for certain components, such as the reduction gear system, and require brake fluid and coolant maintenance to keep the vehicle operating smoothly.

Diagnostic and repair services

Our team uses state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to accurately identify issues with your European car. We offer comprehensive repairs for a wide variety of European makes and models, including Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and more.

Are EV charging stations free in Australia?

Some EV charging stations in Australia are free, especially those located in public spaces like shopping centres or government-funded charging spots. However, most fast-charging stations, particularly rapid chargers, usually require a fee. The cost varies depending on the provider and the type of charger you’re using.

How long do EV batteries last?

Most EV batteries are designed to last between 8 to 15 years, depending on the make and model of the vehicle, as well as how it’s driven and maintained. Many manufacturers offer warranties on EV batteries for up to 8 years or 160,000 kilometers. Regular maintenance, including battery checks, can help extend the life of your EV battery.

Do electric cars need to be driven regularly?

Yes, like all vehicles, electric cars benefit from regular driving. Regular use helps maintain the health of the battery by preventing it from discharging completely or sitting idle for too long, which can negatively affect battery life. It’s recommended to drive your EV periodically to keep it functioning at its best.

BYD expensive to maintain?

BYD electric vehicles are typically less expensive to maintain compared to traditional petrol or diesel vehicles. As with most EVs, BYD vehicles do not require oil changes, have fewer moving parts, and typically have lower maintenance costs. However, regular servicing for tyres, brakes, and battery health is still necessary, but overall, EV maintenance costs tend to be lower.

What happens if my electric car runs out of charge?

If your electric car runs out of charge, it will come to a stop much like a traditional car running out of fuel. Most EVs come with warning systems that alert you well in advance when the battery is getting low, giving you time to reach a charging station. If you do run out of charge, roadside assistance services can either tow your car to the nearest charging station or, in some cases, provide a mobile charging solution. It’s always a good idea to plan your trips and be mindful of your EV’s range to avoid running out of charge.
