All the Details of Mercedes-Benz EV Service

There are lots of perks to owning an electric vehicle, particularly their efficiency. To keep them working so smoothly, it’s important that you schedule routine Mercedes-Benz EV service at Keyes European.

How Does an Electric Vehicle Work?

Rather than being fueled by gasoline, an electric vehicle is powered by electricity. The electricity comes from its rechargeable battery. Most electric vehicles use a lithium-ion battery. To charge your vehicle, you simply plug it in to a charging point, either at home or on-the-go at a public charging network. It depends on the vehicle you own, but most electric vehicles can drive over 250 miles on one charge.

What Type of Service Do They Need?

When most people think of auto maintenance, an oil change comes to mind first. Since an electric vehicle doesn’t have an engine, it doesn’t need engine oil. Most electric vehicles don’t need transmission fluid either. However, they do require many of the same maintenance tasks that a car powered by gas would need too.

• Windshield wiper blade replacement
• Windshield wiper fluid replenishment
• Tire rotation
• Brake inspection (rotor and brake pads replacement, when necessary)
• Filter replacement
• Battery inspection

How Often Should You Schedule EV Service?

Every vehicle has different maintenance needs. It depends on your vehicle’s age, mileage, and even your driving conditions. However, even if you aren’t due for maintenance, it’s important to have electric vehicles regularly inspected to ensure your battery is performing efficiently and your vehicle is reliable. On average, we recommend that you schedule electric vehicle maintenance every six months.
