EV Car Service: Keeping Your Charge
Unlike gasoline-powered vehicles, EVs offer a refreshing departure from routine oil changes, spark plug replacements, and emission system checks. This translates to significant cost savings and convenience for EV owners. However, at Carlisle Buick GMC, we believe in a proactive approach to EV care, ensuring your electric adventure runs smoothly for miles to come. Here’s what you can expect from our Buick and GMC EV service expertise.
Battery Health Check: Our certified technicians will use advanced diagnostic tools to assess your EV battery’s health and performance. This proactive approach can identify potential issues early on, ensuring optimal driving range and battery life.
High-Voltage System Inspection: EVs operate on a high-voltage electrical system. Our technicians are specially trained to safely inspect and maintain these systems, ensuring your safety and the vehicle’s performance.
Software Updates: Just like smartphones, EVs receive regular software updates that can improve performance, add new features, and address potential bugs. Carlisle Buick GMC EV service will ensure your EV has the latest software to keep it running at its best.
Tire Rotations and Alignments: Just like any car, proper tire care is essential for safety and optimal performance in your EV. During your Buick or GMC EV service appointment, our technicians will rotate and align your tires to ensure even wear and maximize efficiency.
EV Car Maintenance: Simple Steps, Big Impact
While EVs require less scheduled service compared to gasoline vehicles, some simple maintenance practices can significantly extend the life of your vehicle and enhance your driving experience. Here at Carlisle Buick GMC, we want to empower you to be a confident EV owner, so let’s explore some key maintenance strategies.
Home Charging Habits: Proper charging habits can significantly impact your battery’s health. Avoid constantly letting your battery drop below 20% or regularly charging to 100%. Additionally, consult your owner’s manual for guidance on optimal charging temperatures.
Regenerative Braking: One of the perks of EVs is regenerative braking, which utilizes the electric motor to slow the car down and recapture energy that gets fed back into the battery. Making use of this feature reduces wear and tear on your traditional brakes, extending their lifespan.
Cabin Air Filter Replacement: Just like gasoline vehicles, EVs have cabin air filters that remove pollen, dust, and other allergens from the air you breathe. Replacing your cabin air filter regularly ensures a fresh and comfortable driving environment.
Regular Washes: Keeping your EV clean not only enhances its sleek appearance but also helps prevent dirt and grime buildup that could potentially damage electrical components.
