Help & advice

Yes, many EVs receive over-the-air software updates, which can improve efficiency and add features without needing a visit to the dealership. These aspects make EVs not only easier to maintain but also generally more affordable over their lifetime.

No, EVs have fewer moving parts than petrol or diesel cars, so there’s less to service. Regular check-ups focus on tyres, brakes, and software updates.

No oil changes are needed, as EVs don’t have traditional engines. This means fewer fluids to check and replace, reducing costs.

EVs use regenerative braking, which helps reduce wear on brake pads. This can make EV brakes last longer than those in petrol or diesel cars.

EV batteries are designed to last many years. Most come with warranties covering 6–8 years, and they’re built to retain most of their capacity over time.
