When you drive an efficient electric vehicle, we know you want to keep it that way. This is easy if you only use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts for replacements and schedule routine maintenance at Mercedes-Benz of Owings Mills.
What Makes Up an Electric Powertrain?
Rather than a gasoline-powered engine, an electric vehicle uses at least one electric motor. This motor is powered by electricity from a battery.
You can plug the vehicle into a charging station (either at-home or public) to charge your battery, or it can be charged with the energy produced through regenerative braking.
How Does Electric Vehicle Maintenance Differ from a Gasoline-Powered Vehicle?
Electric vehicles actually require less maintenance than gasoline-powered vehicles, mainly due to the fact that they require fewer parts. A big part of maintaining a gasoline-powered vehicle is maintaining its engine and engine components, which you can avoid with an electric vehicle.
In an electric vehicle, you won’t need oil changes or to replace your power steering fluid. Some also don’t require transmission fluid either. You also don’t have spark plugs, so you’ll never need a spark plug replacement.
Do Electric Vehicles Need Maintenance?
Even though electric vehicles have fewer parts, it’s still important to ensure yours is maintained regularly. Our regular service appointments don’t just include preventative tasks. Appointments also include a thorough inspection from our expert technicians, who are trained to know your Mercedes-Benz car or SUV inside and out.
