Mercedes-EQ Maintenance in Duluth, GA

How Does Owning an EV Lower My Maintenance Costs?

Did you know that, because electric vehicles don't have as many mechanical components that break down or receive wear and tear, servicing an EV will cost around a third of what you'd expect to spend servicing a gas-powered model? It's true, according to Green Cars. Your Mercedes-EQ isn't equipped with a traditional engine, so services such as tune-ups, spark plug and drive belt replacements, oil changes and differential services don't apply to your vehicle. What's another perk? Car and Driver found that, since EVs use regenerative braking to conserve energy, you won't need your brake pads or rotors replaced as often. Plus, Mercedes-EQ vehicles have up to a 10-year/155,000-mile limited battery warranty, so your EV will be covered in case of any manufacturer defects.

What EV-Specific Services Should I Schedule?

There aren't many to keep track of. Some traditional services, such as the occasional fluid flush, air filter change, windshield wiper replacement and tire rotation, will still need to be completed promptly. But to extend its lifespan and remain under warranty, you'll also need to be aware of specific services for your EV. Electric vehicles are equipped with heavy batteries which place stress on the tires and suspensions. Have those parts inspected frequently — the tires on EVs especially may need to be replaced more often than those on gas-powered vehicles. Check your owner's manual for the recommended intervals for the inspections of the cooling system and charging equipment. The A/C system cools your model's battery, and charging equipment — such as the power inverter, accessory power and charger modules — will be used daily, so it’s important that they’re in good working condition.
