Do you have a question?
We have the answer!
- Are all mechanics qualified to service EVs and hybrids?
Not all mechanics have the training or equipment to service EVs and hybrids. It’s important to choose a certified service centre such as NexDrive who specialise in these vehicles.
- Do EVs and hybrids require oil changes?
EVs do not require oil changes since they don’t have traditional engines. Hybrids have combustion engines that may still need oil changes, though often less frequently than conventional vehicles.
- How long does it take to service an EV or hybrid vehicle?
Service times can vary based on the type of service and the complexity of the systems being checked. Routine checks might be quicker, while battery diagnostics or software updates could take longer.
- How often should I service my electric or hybrid vehicle?
Service intervals can vary by manufacturer, but generally, EVs and hybrids need less frequent servicing than traditional vehicles. Check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations.
- What are common maintenance tasks for EVs and hybrids?
Common tasks include checking the battery, electric motor, and associated electronics, inspecting brakes (which last longer due to regenerative braking), and maintaining fluid levels.
- What is the difference between servicing EVs and hybrid vehicles compared to traditional vehicles?
EVs and hybrids have unique components like electric motors, batteries, and complex electronic systems that require specialised knowledge and equipment for servicing. All NexDrive workshops are equipped with the training, equipment and tools to perform servicing on all next generation vehicles.
