Volvo Electric Vehicle Service in Schaumburg, IL
Â
An electric vehicle (EV) is designed to maintain not only luxury and performance, but also adding an environmentally friendly element. One of the biggest benefits to EV's is regular maintenance is less frequent and less expensive. This does not mean that EVs are without their share of maintenance. It's just done on a different schedule. There can be some confusion about EV maintenance as there are not as many moving parts within these cars as traditional gas-powered engines. We at Patrick Volvo Cars have created a list of maintenance needs that EVs have so you are in the loop. These are all things that are professionally trained Volvo technicians can take care of for you.

Basic maintenance
This category includes general tasks that most vehicle owners would think of when it comes to car maintenance. These tasks are the same for EVs. They include: tire rotation, replacing the cabin air filter, and replenishing windshield wiper fluid.
Brake pads
EV's still need brake pads maintained and serviced. However, thankfully, regenerative braking makes this a much easier process. Regenerative braking takes the kinetic energy of your vehicle and uses it to slow it down. This means less wear and tear on your vehicle's brakes in addition to greater stopping power.
Fluid checks
Even without the need for regular oil changes, EV's still require other fluid checks. These vehicles still hold things such as brake fluid and coolant and these fluids should be monitored and brought in for service and change whenever necessary. It is recommended to get brake fluid inspected and changed every 22,000 miles or two years. Coolant should be changed over every 150,000 miles or five years.Tires
As with any car, your Volvo EV will need regular tire maintenance as well. It is recommended that every 7,500 miles or every six months you get the tires rotated. We recommend referencing your owner's manual for specific tire recommendations.Battery
The lithium ion batteries that power EVs offer greater energy density and tend to hold a charge longer, however, every battery in an EV that is sold in the U.S. comes with a warranty that lasts for a minimum of eight years or up to 100,000 miles.
