Ford EV Service: Keeping Your Charge Going Strong
Gone are the days of routine oil changes and spark plug replacements. Electric vehicles boast a simpler powertrain, resulting in significantly reduced service needs. However, that doesn’t mean your EV is maintenance-free. Regularly scheduled service appointments are still crucial for maintaining optimal performance and maximizing your battery life. At Moon Township Ford, our certified EV technicians are specially trained to handle all your electric vehicle’s service needs. During a typical service appointment, we’ll perform a comprehensive inspection, checking key components like the battery thermal management system, high-voltage components, and charging infrastructure. We’ll also ensure your software is up to date, optimizing your driving experience and addressing any potential bugs. But that’s not all! Our service department offers additional services specifically designed for EVs, including:
High-voltage system inspection: Our technicians will meticulously inspect the high-voltage system for any signs of damage or wear, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
Charging system check: We’ll verify the functionality of your onboard charger and home charging station, keeping you powered up wherever you go.
Battery health analysis: Using advanced diagnostic tools, we’ll assess the health of your EV battery, providing valuable insights into its performance and lifespan.
EV Car Maintenance
While EVs require less maintenance than traditional vehicles, certain practices can significantly enhance their performance and longevity. Here are some key tips to keep your EV running smoothly.
Regular tire rotations and alignments: Just like any car, proper tire care is essential for optimal handling, efficiency, and safety.
Cabin air filter replacement: A clean cabin air filter ensures fresh air circulation and a comfortable driving experience.
Software updates: Regularly downloading software updates from your manufacturer helps maintain optimal performance and address any potential issues.
Regenerative braking awareness: EVs utilize regenerative braking to capture energy during deceleration, reducing wear and tear on your traditional brakes. However, occasional traditional braking is essential to maintain optimal brake function, so make sure to keep an eye on brake pads.
Taking Care of Your EV
Sure, professional service is key, but keeping your electric Ford happy at home is just as important. Here are some insider tips to maximize battery health, extend your driving range, and keep your EV running like a dream.
Become a smart charger: Ditch the habit of letting your battery hit rock bottom before plugging in. Aim for a sweet spot between 20% and 80% charge for optimal battery life. Use home charging stations that allow for slower, gentler charging whenever possible.
Climate control with a conscience: Extreme temperatures can throw your battery a curveball. Utilize preconditioning features to adjust cabin temperature before driving, reducing the strain on the battery during scorching summers or frigid winters. This way, your battery can focus on propelling you forward, not fighting off the elements.
