What happens in an EV service?
Electric vehicles have fewer components than their petrol and diesel counterparts, making them easier to maintain. They are made up of three main components:
- An Electric Motor
- An on-board charger
- Inverter
However, there are other parts of your vehicle that need servicing regularly to make sure your car is running at its best.
