How Does Owning an EV Lower My Maintenance Costs?

When you own a Hyundai EV, traditional engine maintenance becomes a thing of the past. Services like oil changes and parts like spark plugs no longer apply. According to Car and Driver, since EVs use regenerative braking, you likely won’t need to replace brake pads and rotors as often as you would with a gas-powered vehicle. According to Green Cars, the cost of service for an electric vehicle could cost around a third of the price of service for a gas-powered vehicle. Plus, Hyundai offers a 10-year/100,000-mile battery warranty, which will cover your vehicle in the event of any manufacturer issues, so you can rest assured that you and your EV have the coverage you need.

What EV-Specific Services Should I Schedule?

In addition to routine maintenance like cabin air filter changes, fluid flushes, windshield wiper replacements and tire rotations, there are EV-specific services that are necessary to keep your all-electric vehicle healthy and to maintain warranty coverage. Because an EV battery is heavy, an EV may require tire inspections, new tires and suspension services more often than a standard gas-powered vehicle. You should always refer to your owner’s manual to find out how often the cooling system (which cools your vehicle's battery) and the charging equipment (like the power inverter, accessory power and charger modules) should be inspected. EVs also have extensive electrical systems that require service from certified technicians if there is an issue.
