Switching to an electric vehicle (EV)? It may be surprising to learn that EVs can be cheaper to own than traditional vehicles because of their low maintenance requirements. Learn all about EV maintenance and professional services at Liberty Family of Dealerships. Enjoy the next phase in automotive vehicle technology with the added benefits of lower maintenance costs than traditional gas vehicles.
EVs need very little maintenance compared to gas vehicles because they have fewer moving parts and are much cleaner to operate and maintain. The batteries that power the electric motors can last more than ten years and require zero maintenance during their lifetime. On the other hand, gas vehicles need frequent maintenance to keep all the components clean and running smoothly, with regular maintenance revolving around oil changes at specific mileage or monthly intervals.
Some tasks will remain a standard part of vehicle ownership, the most significant being tire maintenance and brake services.
Every vehicle has a factory-recommended maintenance schedule found in the owner's manual. Rather than revolving around the oil changes in gas vehicles, EV maintenance is recommended about twice a year to look over your tires and brakes. Our service team at Liberty Family of Dealerships will perform a multi-point inspection at regular appointments to keep tabs on all the crucial components and ensure your EV operates as expected.
Although EVs may cost more upfront than traditional gas vehicles, you can save when you switch to an electrified vehicle with current New Jersey and federal incentives and enjoy lower costs in the long run because they require less maintenance. Say goodbye to oil changes, transmission services, and more!
EVs have multiple charging options with three charging levels and at-home or on-the-go solutions. You can charge an EV with no additional equipment at home with Level I (120-Volt) charging. Simply plug in the included charger to a regular wall outlet near where you park your vehicle. You can upgrade to a Level II (240-Volt) charger with professional installation for faster charging. Finally, you can stop at a public charging station for Level II or Level III fast-charging capabilities.
