EV Battery Life Service & Maintenance in Doylestown, PA

When you're thinking of purchasing an electric vehicle, there are many benefits that you'll find. One of these benefits is the reduced service requirements an EV has compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. Not only does an electric vehicle have fewer moving parts that need routine service, but you'll also find less wear and tear on your brakes and other important car parts. That being said, there is one major part an EV has that a combustion engine does not - the large lithium-ion battery pack. These batteries do need to be maintained and will eventually need to be replaced; however, a modern electric vehicle has batteries that are designed to last 200,000 miles or more. In order to keep your EV's battery running strong, it's recommended to have it routinely maintained and inspected. Our team at Fred Beans GMC of Doylestown is here to help you accomplish that goal.

What Type of EV Battery Service is Recommended?

To make the most of your electric vehicle, it's important to have your car, truck, SUV, or van routinely maintained by our trained technicians. Our service center is available to keep your battery in great shape, as well as every other part of your GMC model. Here are some of the most important EV battery services we suggest.

  • Regular Professional EV Battery Inspections - Our certified technician will scan your EV to get a closer look at the car's battery and if anything is out of line. They'll see what type of charge is left, if there's anything wrong with the connections, and if any part of the battery is damaged. If there is anything that needs to be fixed, our team can have you back out on the roads around Quakertown or Telford in no time.
  • Software Updates - Over time, your vehicle may require software updates. These updates to the vehicle's software help keep your car modern and in tune with the latest programs, developments, and more, making sure that your EV's battery is ready to move.
  • Other Common Maintenance Services - From tires to brake pads and rotors, it's important to make sure your EV is well maintained in all other areas. While the brakes should last longer thanks to regenerative braking, they will still need to be repaired or replaced with use. This routine maintenance helps your car run smoothly, keeping it from adding more stress onto your car's batteries.

How Can You Maximize Your EV's Battery Life?

There are several ways that you can extend your car's battery life. These include:

  • Follow the recommendations by the manufacturer (found in your owner's manual)
  • Limit the use of DC fast charging stations
  • Park in a climate-controlled area, like a garage, to avoid extreme temperatures
  • Try not to routinely charge the battery to 100-percent or let it fully deplete
  • Use moderate acceleration as often as you can
