Electric Vehicles
At Coles Automotive we offer servicing for all makes of electric vehicles.
Do Electric Cars Need Servicing?
Just like petrol or diesel cars, electric vehicles (EVs) require regular servicing to ensure they run smoothly. Despite not having engines, EVs share many components with conventional cars, such as tyres, brakes, lights, suspension, and electrical systems, all of which need routine checks and maintenance.
Regular servicing allows for early detection of potential issues. Our skilled technicians can identify and address minor problems before they escalate into costly and potentially hazardous repairs. This proactive approach can save you money and enhance the safety and reliability of your EV.
Maintaining a full-service history for your EV not only extends its lifespan and reliability but also helps retain its resale value. Don't overlook the importance of EV servicing—book your hybrid or electric car service at Coles Automotive today.
How Often Do You Need EV Servicing?
Electric cars generally follow similar service intervals as traditional cars. The specific schedule depends on the manufacturer’s recommendations, so consult your owner’s manual for details pertinent to your vehicle’s make and model. Whether you need a service for a hybrid, Tesla, or Renault Zoe, Coles Automotive has you covered.
Does My Electric Car Need an MOT?
Yes, electric cars require an annual MOT once they are three years old. The main difference is that while internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles need their exhaust systems tested, this isn’t necessary for EVs. If your EV is due for an MOT, book your appointment with Coles Automotive today.
Do You Need Special Training to Service EVs?
Yes, servicing EVs requires technicians with specialized training to handle high-voltage systems safely. At Coles Automotive, our technicians possess the necessary IMI Level 3 accreditation and expertise to service your EV to the highest standards, ensuring it’s safe and roadworthy.
