Ford Electric Vehicle Service FAQ
Do EVs require auto maintenance?
Yes! Regardless of whether you drive a new Ford F-150 Lightning or Mustang Mach-E, regular maintenance such as brake inspections and tire rotations are crucial to optimizing your vehicle's performance. However, since electric cars don't have an internal combustion engine, they don't always require traditional services like oil changes. This aspect makes models like the upcoming all-electric Ford Bronco a favorable choice.
How do I maintain an electric vehicle?
Electric cars still need regular check-ups for non-engine components like brakes and tires. Plus, depending on your driving habits and local climate, your EV batteries might need servicing over time. Visit our Ford service center to ensure your EV remains in top condition.
Are oil changes required for electric cars?
No! Fully electric vehicles use an electric motor instead of a combustion engine, so they don't require oil changes.
Do plug-in hybrids require oil changes?
Yes, since PHEVs use a gas-powered engine alongside their electric motor, they do need oil changes. Schedule a PHEV oil change at our NJ Ford dealer.
Does it cost less to service an electric vehicle?
Yes, generally electric vehicle services cost less than that of a traditional vehicle that runs on gasoline or diesel. This is due to fewer moving parts in an electric vehicle, which reduces the likelihood of parts breakdown or wear, and the absence of oil changes.
