Ford EV Maintenance


What Services Does My EV Require?

Ford EV Maintenance in Woodstock, GA

Everyone knows that, in general, EVs — or electric vehicles — drive more efficiently than vehicles with traditional gas engines. But did you know that it costs less to charge EVs than it does to fuel gas-powered vehicles? Did you also know that EVs have been proven to require less maintenance overall? If you're new to the EV world, consider this your welcome introduction. Electric vehicles come with many perks, including lower service costs and fewer visits to the service center. But when it's time to bring your EV in for service, trust no one but the team at Krause Family Ford. We know your electric vehicle inside and out — make your appointment with our team today!

How Does Owning an EV Lower My Maintenance Costs?

An electric vehicle's low maintenance costs are largely due to its lack of having a traditional engine. Services such as oil changes and spark plug replacements don't apply to your model, and other services won't need to be completed as often. For example, Car and Driver observed that since EVs use regenerative braking, the brake pads and rotors won't receive as much wear and tear, thereby saving you a few trips to the service center for replacements. Green Cars estimates that servicing an EV overall will cost around a third of what you might spend on service for a gas-powered vehicle. Plus, Ford offers owners an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty, so your Ford EV will be covered under warranty in case of any manufacturer defects.

What EV-Specific Services Should I Schedule?

Minor services, such as windshield wiper replacements and tire rotations, will still need to be performed on your electric vehicle, but there are a few specific repairs needed to maintain its lifespan. The batteries that power EVs are heavy, which places stress on the model's tires and suspension. We suggest either performing frequent tire inspections yourself or scheduling them, along with suspension inspections, with our experts. You'll want to refer to your owner's manual for the recommended intervals for inspections of the model's cooling system and charging equipment, two vital elements that keep your EV running smoothly. The cooling system regulates the temperature of the model's battery while the charging equipment (like the power inverter and charger modules) will be used daily.

Owning a Ford EV is an experience unlike anything else, especially when you have your friends at Krause Family Ford to service your model. Any questions?
