Electric vehicle (EV) repair and servicing in Ireland
Electric vehicles have far fewer moving parts than a combustion car, but they still need servicing, brakes, tyres, suspension, cooling and the high-voltage battery and charging system all need attention.
What's involved
A garage checks brakes (which last longer thanks to regenerative braking), tyres, suspension, cabin filter, coolant and software, and can assess the high-voltage battery and charging system. High-voltage work requires proper EV training.
