What kind of maintenance is required for an electric or hybrid car?

If you have any questions, please feel free to stop by and speak with a member of the team.
How much does it cost to operate and maintain an electric car?
Electric vehicles are noticeably less expensive to operate after the typically higher purchase price. Electric cars don’t have many of the parts that break down in gasoline and diesel vehicles, saving you money on these expensive repair costs. Regenerative braking also reduces wear and strain on brake parts. Since road fees are frequently used, emissions are generally very low or nonexistent.
How can I make my battery last longer?
A few recommendations to help your battery last longer:
Avoid leaving your electric car on full charge all the time. While this will shorten its range, it can lengthen its battery’s lifespan and make place for regenerative braking, which is not feasible with an ultimate charge battery.
Make sure annual maintenance is done; spending money on regular maintenance will cut down on expensive repairs in the future.
Are electric cars more environmentally friendly?
Electric vehicles are undoubtedly a step in the right direction for environmentally friendly transportation because there are no harmful emissions from the engine; nevertheless, even electricity produced from fossil fuels is better than electricity from combustion-engined vehicles. Therefore, choose a “green” energy provider that delivers its energy from renewable sources, such as wind, solar, or hydroelectricity, to reduce your carbon footprint.
