FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do electric vehicles need oil changes?

No—they don’t have combustion engines, so they don’t require motor oil. However, EVs still use lubricants in gearboxes or motors and have cooling systems (e.g. battery coolant) that need periodic checks and occasional top-ups

How often should I service my EV?

Servicing is recommended roughly every 12 months or 12–20,000 km, depending on the manufacturer. Basic services include safety inspections, brake fluid checks, coolant top‑ups, tire rotations, cabin filter changes, and software updates

How long do EV batteries last and when do they need replacement?

Modern EV batteries are designed for longevity, often retaining 70–80% capacity after 8–10 years. Most manufacturers back them with 8‑year or 160,000 km warranties. Replacement is rare but can be costly—typically between $5,000 to $20,000

Do EVs still need brake maintenance?

EVs use regenerative braking, which reduces wear on pads and discs. However, brake fluid needs replacing (typically every 2 years), and callipers need periodic lubrication—especially in salt-prone regions—to avoid seizing .
