Hyundai EV Maintenance in Kennesaw, GA

There's a lot of information circulating out there about electric vehicles, or EVs. Most know that EVs drive efficiently and cost less to charge in comparison to the cost of fueling gas-powered models, but few know that EVs have been proven to require less maintenance overall. In fact, Green Cars reports that servicing an EV will cost around a third of what you'd expect to spend to service a gas-powered vehicle. That's great news for Hyundai EV owners! What's even better is the team of technicians here at Hyundai of Kennesaw is trained to service your EV with the latest diagnostic equipment. Trust us with your EV service needs and schedule your next appointment today!

How Does Owning an EV Lower My Maintenance Costs?

Your maintenance costs will be reduced simply because your Hyundai EV doesn't operate with a traditional engine. Electric vehicles don't have as many mechanical components that break down or receive wear and tear, so your service appointments should be few and far between (and less extensive when they are scheduled). For example, electric vehicles use regenerative braking, so Car and Driver notes that owners won't need to replace brake pads and rotors as often. Say goodbye to repairs such as tune-ups, spark plug and drive belt replacements, oil changes and differential services!

What EV-Specific Services Should I Schedule?

Refer to your owner's manual for the recommended service schedule — it'll be your best resource for keeping your EV covered under warranty. But here are a few of our recommended services that electric vehicles should receive:

• Tire inspections and replacements, as needed
• Suspension inspections
• Cooling system inspections
• Charging equipment inspections

EV owners may need frequent tire and suspension inspections since the heavy-duty batteries place stress on those systems. Be sure to have your tires replaced when needed to maintain optimal traction on the road. A cooling system inspection is recommended since it has the important responsibility of maintaining the battery's temperature. And since you'll be using the charging equipment for your EV daily, you'll want the power inverter, accessory power and charger module looked at by a professional.
