 Does an electric car need a service? Yes, EVs do need servicing, though they generally require less maintenance than traditional petrol or diesel equivalents. Regular servicing ensures that key components like brakes, suspension and tyres are in good condition, and that the latest software updates are applied.
How often do EVs need servicing? Typically, EVs need servicing once a year or every 10,000 to 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's schedule to maintain the performance and longevity of your electric vehicle.
