Electric Car Maintenance FAQs
Do electric cars need to be serviced?
Yes. Electric vehicles still require maintenance from time to time. However, because EVs have fewer fluids and internal parts than cars with gas engines, you won’t have to worry about addressing items like timing belts, spark plugs and engine oil.
Do electric cars need oil changes?
No. You can say goodbye to oil changes for good with your electric car, as they are powered by an electric motor rather than a gas engine.
Are hybrids more expensive to maintain?
With routine maintenance, hybrid cars are no more expensive to maintain than their gas engine counterparts.
Do you really save on gas with a hybrid?
Hybrid vehicles are far more fuel efficient than your typical car that runs solely on gasoline. Even if you pay more up front for your hybrid SUV or sedan, you’ll save significantly on gas prices. For some hybrids, the impacts from saving on gas are immediate.
