Streamlined and Efficient EV Service
Many of the routine service needs you’re familiar with for gasoline vehicles are eliminated with Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram EV service. Gone are the days of frequent oil changes, spark plug replacements, and air filter changes for the internal combustion engine. Since EVs rely on electric motors powered by high-voltage batteries, these components require minimal scheduled maintenance. However, EVs still require regular service to ensure optimal performance and safety. Our certified technicians are specially trained to handle the unique needs of your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram EV. Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram EV service might include:
High-voltage battery inspection: Our technicians will perform a thorough inspection of your EV’s battery pack, checking for any potential issues that could affect performance or range.
Thermal management system check: The thermal management system keeps your EV’s battery cool during operation. We’ll ensure this system is functioning properly to maximize battery life and efficiency.
Software updates: Just like your smartphone, your EV’s software might require periodic updates to optimize performance and address any potential bugs. Our technicians will handle these updates for you.
Tire rotations and alignments: Just like any car, proper tire care is crucial for your EV’s safety and performance. We recommend regular tire rotations and alignments to ensure even wear and tear.
Brake system checks: While regenerative braking in EVs reduces wear and tear on the traditional friction brakes, they’re still essential for stopping the vehicle completely. Our technicians will inspect the brake system for any signs of wear or damage.
EV Car Maintenance: Keeping Your Charge Strong
While servicing focuses on specific checks and updates, maintaining your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram EV involves proactive steps you can take to maximize its efficiency and lifespan. Here are some tips for taking care of your EV:
Charging habits: Following proper charging practices can significantly impact your battery’s health. Avoid letting your battery completely drain before charging, and aim for a level between 20% and 80% for daily use. Refer to your owner’s manual for specific charging recommendations for your model.
Regenerative braking: Utilize your EV’s regenerative braking feature whenever possible. This system captures energy from braking and feeds it back into the battery, extending your range. We will also check this during your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram EV service.
Climate control: Extreme temperatures can affect battery performance. Utilize pre-conditioning features to cool or heat your car’s cabin before driving, reducing the strain on the battery when reaching your desired temperature on the road.
