Can you get an electric car serviced anywhere?
Can you bring an electric car anywhere to get serviced?
Chanice Boyd · Updated on

I’m glad you asked. Electric cars cannot get serviced just anywhere.
Electric vehicles are less complex and have fewer moving parts than a traditional fueled vehicle. Operating one is akin to driving a giant computer. Because of this, they require a different set of
expertise
when it comes to servicing. Luckily, most electric car manufacturers offer roadside assistance packages and recovery services designed for EVs upon leasing or signing. These plans focus on battery and electric drivetrain work. They’ll also ensure that the charging cable is free of damage and will either repair or replace it when necessary.
Many independent garages specialize in all-electric vehicle maintenance and repairs. When bringing your EV to be serviced, you can expect:
- A more straightforward experience due to its fewer moving parts
- Performance checks
- Battery level checks
- Charging cables and high-voltage systems check
- Vehicle systems check
- Tire rotation
Your electric vehicle will require a twice-a-year maitenance check to help maintain performance and longevity.
If safety is a priority, owning an electric vehicle is a step in the right direction. Having the right car insurance is the best way to reinforce that protection.
