Frequently Asked Questions on electric vehicle service

What's an electric car service?

Electric car services focus on looking after the unique parts of electric vehicles (EVs). This includes checking the battery, electric motor, and other electronics. They also cover tyre rotation, brake checks, and software updates.

Do electric cars need a service?

Yes, electric cars need regular servicing to ensure they run well. While they have fewer moving parts than petrol or diesel cars, parts like the battery, motor, and brakes still require regular care.

How much does a UK electric car service cost?

The cost of an electric car service in the UK can vary, but it’s generally less expensive than servicing a petrol or diesel car, as there are fewer parts that require care.

Do EV cars need an MOT?

Can I service my electric car at any garage?

Not all garages can service electric cars. It's important to take your EV to a garage with mechanics trained to work on electric cars. These garages have the right tools and knowledge to maintain your EV properly.
