Independent Maintenance of Electric Cars
Would you like to service and maintain your electric car yourself? In this article you will find out which maintenance is important on your vehicle and whether it needs to be carried out in a workshop.
Spoiler: You can carry out some maintenance procedures yourself with our high-performance products!
Construction of electric vehicles: Less is more
Compared to combustion engines, electric cars hardly have any hot moving parts: no oil changes, no spark plugs, no exhaust system, etc. But electric vehicles also require regular maintenance such as changing wearing parts, fluids or tires. This is the only way to avoid expensive repairs - and to remain as safe and comfortable on the road as usual.
