Electric Vehicles
Why Mr. Lube + Tires
While EVs have fewer mechanical parts, they are not maintenance free. Just like gas powered vehicles, EVs require regular maintenance at service intervals recommended by the manufacturer. We carefully follow those intervals, and our technicians are trained to handle a range of EV service needs. Just drop by anytime, no appointment needed, and we’ll get you back on the road in no time.
Battery
Your electric vehicle has a regular 12V battery that keeps your onboard systems working and the electronic features of your vehicle at their best.
Battery Coolant
While EVs don’t need coolant to keep a traditional combustion engine cool, they do require coolant to keep the batteries from overheating. The intervals for checking and changing this EV coolant varies from one model to another. Some EVs never require a coolant change, while others have recommended intervals like gas powered vehicles.
Cabin Filter
EVs have cabin air filters just like gas powered vehicles, that help improve the quality of the air you breathe by collecting dust, pollen, and pollutants. Replacing them when needed will go a long way to ensuring the quality of air inside your EV is at a high level.
Transmission Service
EV’s don’t have gears like internal combustion engines but they do have a gear box which requires transmission fluid to keep things moving properly. The service interval for this fluid does vary depending upon the make and model of your electric vehicle.
Tires
Electric vehicles are heavy, often weighing more than 1000 kg greater than a gas-powered vehicle. They also deliver instant torque which together with the added weight means your EV needs tires with stronger rubber compounds. The added strength reduces rolling resistance which extends the life of your battery and improves performance.
Windshield Wipers
Windshield wipers help you see the road clearly and should be checked regularly for damage.
