STOP Believing EV Maintenance Cost Lies

Описание: My old car mechanic was shocked when I bought an electric car - and honestly, so was I after seeing the real maintenance cost difference! 😱

EV annual service cost: ₹5,000.
Diesel car annual service cost: ₹15,000–₹20,000!

No engine oil, clutch, or exhaust. Just transmission oil change and regenerative braking means less wear and tear.
EVs aren’t just about saving fuel — they’re revolutionizing how we maintain cars!

Watch till the end to see why my mechanic said, “Aap log sab EV le loge toh mera business band ho jayega!”

Frequently asked questions about EV car maintenance:
1. How often should I service my EV? - Every 7,500 - 10,000km or per manufacturer schedule.
2. What is the battery replacement cost? - ₹2-5 lakh (depending on model) after ~8-10 years if not covered under warranty.
3. Do EVs need engine oil changes? - No.
4. What about transmission oil? - Rare or minimal; simpler than ICE.
5. How often should coolant or thermal management fluid be changed? - As per schedule, ~every few years.
6. Will brake pads wear out quickly? - No, regenerative braking reduces wear.
7. What inverters, motors, electronics maintenance is needed? - Very minimal; mostly diagnostics and checks.
8. Do EVs require more spare parts or expensive parts? - No, fewer moving parts mean fewer components.
9. Does battery degradation happen? - Yes, gradual over years, check SOH during each service.
10. Are service centers widely available? - Yes, only use authorized service centers.
11. Can I service my EV at any workshop? - Not for high-voltage battery work; only certified centers.
12. What about tyre wear in EVs? - Similar to ICE; rotate and maintain pressure.
13. Are cooling systems/thermal management systems expensive to maintain? - Moderate; part of scheduled checks.
14. What about warranty & coverage for battery? - 6-8 years or more, depending on brand. Some have now come up with lifetime warranty (15years and unlimited Km)
15. Does charging style affect maintenance? - Yes, frequent fast charging can stress battery over time, but it is not very significant.
16. Are repairs more expensive for EVs? - For high-voltage parts, yes; for regular parts, no.
17. How about parts availability for EVs? - Limited in smaller towns and depends on dealership/SC.
18. Are software / firmware updates part of maintenance? - Yes, often over the air or during service visits.
19. Does extreme weather affect maintenance needs? - Yes - heat or cold stress battery and cooling systems.
20. Are EV cooling fluids / thermal fluids expensive? - Not very; part of the planned maintenance.
21. Do I need to check insulators, cabling, connectors? - Yes, periodic inspection recommended.
22. How about auxiliary systems (AC, HVAC)? - Same as ICE vehicles, requires maintenance.
23. Does the battery pack need balancing or cell-level checks? - Yes, as part of health checks.
24. Is insurance / costs higher because of EV maintenance? - Slightly higher if battery protect/surge protect add ons are included.
25. How do I keep the battery healthy long term? - Avoid frequent deep discharges, avoid extreme temps, avoid frequent fast charging to 100%.
