Chevy EV Service

What Services Are Needed for your Chevy EV?
With a Chevy EV comes new maintenance requirements. Since your vehicle has fewer internal parts, that means you won't have to shell out any cash for oil changes, spark plug replacements, transmission repairs, or fuel filter replacements. Here are a few items included in your Chevy EV's routine maintenance.
Battery Inspection
You should make it a point to have your battery health checked by an EV professional every 1 - 2 years. If you use DC Fast-Charging daily or live in extreme climates, it's advisable to have your battery inspected every 6 months to 1 year.
Cooling Inspection
Your Chevy EV cooling system helps maintain your battery's thermal management. In other words, your specialized cooling system regulates the battery pack, driver motor, and power electronics. Your system should receive an inspection every 1 - 2 years, and your coolant flush should take place around 150,000 miles or 10 years.
Tire Rotation and Maintenance
Chevy EV tires, as well as other EVs in Portland, OR, require more maintenance than traditional gas vehicles. That's due to increased weight and instant torque, which puts more stress on the tires. Aim to have your tires rotated every 7,500 miles.
Brake System Inspection
If your vehicle has regenerative braking, you'll have reduced wear and tear. However, you should still have your brake pads and rotors inspected every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Brake fluid should be flushed and refilled every 5 years.
Multi-Point Inspection
This comprehensive inspection will check all key points of your vehicle. From the battery and electrical to the charging system, braking system, and suspension. You can ask one of our Chevy EV maintenance experts to perform your multi-point inspection every 7,500 miles.
Tips for Prolonging Your Battery Life
- Avoid Exposure to High Heat: When able, park under a shaded area during high temperatures
- Maintain Optimal Battery Percentage: Try to keep your Chevy EV's battery between 20% and 80%
- Avoid Fast Charging Stations When Possible: Fast-charging stations place a lot of strain on your battery with the influx of current in a short amount of time. Now and again is fine, but try not to make it your main source for replenishment
