Electric Vehicle Servicing
Electric Vehicle Servicing
Just like petrol or diesel cars, your electric car needs regular servicing to keep it in top condition. The good news is that EVs are generally easier to maintain thanks to fewer moving parts. Unlike traditional engines, electric vehicles don’t rely on spark plugs, exhaust systems or fuel tanks. Instead, they’re powered by a simple combination of an electric motor, inverter, and on-board charger – which means less to go wrong.
That said, regular EV servicing is still essential. Key areas such as your high-voltage battery, braking system, filters and cooling fluids all need routine checks to keep your car safe, efficient and reliable.
How often do electric vehicles need servicing?
Most electric vehicles need a service every 12 months or 10,000–15,000 miles, whichever comes first. While EVs have fewer moving parts than petrol or diesel cars, they still rely on important components such as the battery, braking system, tyres, suspension and cooling fluids, which require regular checks to stay in top condition.
The exact EV service interval depends on the make and model of your car, so it’s always best to check your manufacturer’s service schedule. Keeping up with these intervals not only ensures your vehicle runs efficiently but also helps maintain your warranty and long-term battery health.
At Eden Tyres & Servicing, our IMI-qualified technicians follow manufacturer guidelines to carry out warranty-safe electric vehicle servicing, so you can be confident your EV is looked after properly.

What's the difference between regular servicing and electric car servicing?
Electric vehicles are serviced differently from petrol or diesel cars. Because EVs don’t use engine oil, spark plugs, exhaust systems or fuel filters, there’s no need for the traditional maintenance tasks you’d expect with a combustion engine.
Instead, EV servicing focuses on the unique systems that keep your electric car running safely and efficiently. This includes high-voltage battery checks, cooling systems, software and diagnostic updates, as well as brakes, tyres, and suspension.
That’s why EV servicing must be carried out by a specially trained technician with the right qualifications and equipment. At Eden Tyres & Servicing, our IMI-accredited EV technicians are also able to advise on specialist components such as electric vehicle tyres and battery care, ensuring your vehicle gets the right attention from experts who understand EV technology.

Electric Vehicle Servicing FAQs
An EV service takes around an hour to complete. Since electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than petrol or diesel cars, the process is usually quicker and more straightforward. Our IMI-qualified technicians will complete all the necessary checks within this time, making it easy to fit your electric vehicle servicing into a busy day.
Most electric vehicles should be serviced once a year or every 10,000–15,000 miles, whichever comes first. While EVs don’t require oil changes or spark plug replacements like petrol or diesel cars, they still need regular checks on key components such as the battery, brakes, tyres, suspension and cooling systems.
Sticking to the manufacturer’s recommended EV service schedule helps to maintain your warranty, protect battery life and ensure your car stays safe and reliable on the road.
