Electric Vehicle Service FAQs

  • Does an EV cost more to service?

  • In June 2021, a U.S. Department of Energy report estimated that the scheduled maintenance cost of a light-duty battery-electric vehicle is less than $.07 per mile. By comparison, a conventional internal combustion engine costs approximately $.10 per mile to maintain.

  • Do electric cars need oil changes?

  • No. Oil changes aren’t necessary for EVs because they are powered by an electric motor rather than an engine.

  • Are electric cars cheaper to maintain?

  • Electric vehicles are often cheaper to maintain because they don’t have as many moving parts as those with gas engines, so there are fewer routine maintenance tasks required. For example, Ford electric cars do not need oil changes, and you don't have to worry about replacing other engine components. However, electric cars still require tire rotations, wheel alignments, brake inspections and more.
