Electric Vehicle Service FAQs

• Does an EV cost more to service?

• In most cases, electric vehicles cost less to service and maintain because there are fewer moving parts and fluids. According to a U.S. Department of Energy report from June 2021, the estimated scheduled maintenance cost of a light-duty battery-electric vehicle is less than $.07 per mile, while a conventional internal combustion engine costs about $.10 per mile to service.

• Do electric cars need oil changes?

• No, EVs don't require oil changes because they are powered by an electric motor and not an engine.

• Where is an electric car mechanic near me?
