Electric Vehicle Repair in Columbus, OH

Software Updates

Many of your vehicle functions, no matter the powertrain type, are controlled by an onboard computer. Chevy releases new software updates periodically to ensure you enjoy the most up-to-date performance and function. Some newer EVs can accept over-the-air updates. However, our team can manually upgrade your vehicle to the newest software version if needed.

Electric Motor Maintenance

The electric motors in an EV transfer power from the battery packs to forward motion to the wheels. Routine for your electric motors are also infrequent but an important part of regular maintenance to ensure your EV runs as it should for as long as you own it.

Electrical Systems Inspection

The electrical systems in modern vehicles are complex, even more so in EVs. Although maintenance is minimal for the electrical system in an EV, routine checks will ensure you stay on top of any problems that come up and protect the quality and smooth operation of your vehicle.

Battery Pack Inspection

EV battery packs are built to last throughout the vehicle's life. Aside from periodic checks, they need little to no maintenance to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Tire and Brake Services

Tire maintenance in an EV is not different than any other type of vehicle. Tire rotations, balancing, pressure checks, and tread wear are all part of proper tire maintenance.

Brake services are another constant between gas vehicles, EVs, and everything in between. Brakes are crucial to the operation and safety of your vehicle. Although EVs use regenerative braking, which results in less wear to your brake pads and rotors, periodic inspections and replacements will ensure your brakes are in proper working order.

Coolant System

EVs have their own heat management system and typically require coolant system maintenance every 150,000 miles or every five years. While coolant system maintenance is far less than a gas vehicle, it is still an important maintenance milestone.
