Chevrolet EV Maintenance Tips in Fairfax, VA
Now that you’re a proud Chevrolet EV owner, you’re probably wondering what the best ways are to maintain it when using it in the local Fairfax, VA area. Fortunately, our local Chevrolet dealership has a couple of helpful tips to keep in mind when taking care of its maintenance needs!
Battery Care
Thanks to its incredible electric powertrain, Chevrolet EV battery technology helps drivers receive a worry-free experience when moving on the highway or local suburbs. Provided by Chevrolet Complete Care, you have an 8yr/100K mi battery warranty covered and it is best to not have the battery charged over 80% along with making sure the state of charge doesn’t go below 20% if you want to maintain its service life for years to come.
Tire Service
Regardless of the powertrain, its best to have your Chevrolet EV’s tires rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles at our Chevrolet Service Center in Fairfax, VA. Also make sure you’re not practicing contentious driving habits on the road since that will lead to alarming tire wear and spending more money on consistent tire services.
Brake Maintenance
The regenerative braking system included on all Chevrolet EV models makes riding around Fairfax, VA fun and efficient along with giving drivers the chance to extend the vehicle range with the help of the kinetic energy generating from the inertia of the car and moving into the battery. Chevrolet recommends having the brake fluid changed every 150,000 miles and make sure to refer to your owner’s manual for additional information about your vehicle’s brakes.
