Why EV Maintenance is Important

Electric vehicles are known for being efficient, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance compared to petrol or diesel cars. However, like any vehicle, they still require regular servicing to ensure optimal performance. Proper maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your EV but also improves its safety and efficiency.

At Ultimate Mechanics Auckland North Shore and Manakau, we specialise in servicing all major EV models, from Nissan Leaf to Tesla and everything in between. Our workshop is equipped with the latest tools and technology to diagnose and fix any issue your EV might face.

Common EV Maintenance Needs

While EVs have fewer moving parts than traditional vehicles, they still need regular maintenance. Here are some common aspects of EV servicing that we handle:

    Battery Health and Maintenance

    The battery is the heart of any electric vehicle, and keeping it in top condition is vital. Over time, battery capacity can decrease, affecting the range of your EV. Regular battery checks help monitor its health, ensuring it performs efficiently for as long as possible.

    • Battery Life Testing: We use advanced diagnostic tools to measure your battery’s performance and spot any potential issues early.
    • Charging System Checks: Problems with charging ports or cables can lead to slow or incomplete charges. We make sure everything is working correctly, ensuring fast and efficient charging.

    Brake Maintenance

    EVs use regenerative braking, which helps charge the battery while slowing the car. This system reduces wear on the brakes, but they still need to be checked regularly. Our technicians ensure your braking system is functioning properly to keep you safe on the road.

    • Brake Pad Inspection: Regenerative braking reduces brake wear, but pads still need periodic inspection and replacement.
    • Brake Fluid Checks: Like all vehicles, EVs need regular brake fluid checks to ensure smooth and responsive braking.

    Tyre Health

    Electric vehicles are heavier than petrol or diesel cars due to the weight of the battery, which can cause faster tyre wear. Regular tyre maintenance is essential for ensuring grip, safety, and overall vehicle performance.

    • Tyre Rotation and Alignment: We check for uneven wear and ensure your tyres are properly aligned for optimal performance.
    • Pressure Checks: Maintaining the correct tyre pressure improves range and safety, reducing rolling resistance and making your EV more efficient.

    Coolant System Servicing

    EVs use a cooling system to regulate the temperature of the battery and other components. Over time, coolant levels can drop, affecting performance and potentially causing damage. Regular coolant checks are a key part of EV maintenance.

    • Coolant Level Inspection: We make sure your EV’s coolant system is running efficiently, preventing overheating and ensuring your battery remains cool.
    • System Flushing: If needed, we perform a full system flush to remove old coolant and replace it with fresh fluid.

    Software Updates

    Electric vehicles rely heavily on advanced software for everything from battery management to driver assistance features. Regular software updates from the manufacturer can improve performance, add new features, and fix known issues.

    • Diagnostic Scans: We perform thorough diagnostic scans to identify software or firmware issues that may be affecting your EV’s performance.

    System Updates: Our technicians ensure your EV is running the latest software, optimising your vehicle’s safety and efficiency.

    Common EV Issues and How We Fix Them

    EVs are generally reliable, but they can experience some issues over time. Here are a few common problems we see in EVs and how our team can help.

    Reduced Battery Range

    Over time, you might notice your EV’s battery doesn’t hold a charge as well as it used to. This can be due to several factors, including temperature, driving habits, and age.

    • Battery Diagnostics: We can run detailed diagnostics to assess the health of your battery and provide recommendations for improving range or replacing the battery if necessary.

    Charging Problems

    If your EV isn’t charging properly or the charging process takes longer than usual, it could be an issue with the charging port, cable, or internal systems.

    • Port Inspection: We check the charging port for damage and make sure it’s clean and functioning correctly.
    • Cable Testing: We inspect your charging cable to ensure it’s providing the correct voltage and current to your vehicle.

    Unusual Noises

    Although EVs are much quieter than traditional cars, strange noises can still occur. Whether it’s from the motor, suspension, or other components, it’s important to address any unusual sounds quickly.

    • Motor Check: We perform a detailed inspection of the electric motor to ensure it’s running smoothly and quietly.
    • Suspension Inspection: We look for any signs of wear or damage in the suspension system, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride.

    Dashboard Warning Lights

    Like all modern vehicles, EVs are equipped with a range of sensors that monitor everything from tyre pressure to battery health. If a warning light appears on your dashboard, it’s important to get it checked out as soon as possible.

    • Full System Scan: We run comprehensive diagnostic checks to identify and resolve the issue behind any warning lights.
