Subaru EV Service FAQ
Routine visits to a Subaru service department are essential for maintaining the health, safety, and comfort of your vehicle. This applies to Subaru EVs, too-while these models do have reduced service needs, you'll still need to come in for regular service. The more you know, the more confident you'll feel when making the transition to electric vehicles, which is why the Jensen Subaru team explains what you need to know about EV service.
What Kinds of Service Does My EV Need?
There are many benefits to making the switch to an electric vehicle, including a reduced environmental output and savings on fuel costs. You'll also save on service and replacement costs, as EVs typically need less service than gasoline powered vehicles. That said, you'll still want to bring your vehicle in for regular battery and charging system inspections, as well as routine wear and tear inspections for Subaru parts like wipers, tires, and cabin filters.
When Does My Subaru EV Need Service?
Different parts and systems will need to be serviced at different times, so you always want to check your manual to know when to bring your vehicle in for care, whether it's electric or gasoline powered. You also want to account for how and where you drive when setting up a service schedule. That said, some good standards to follow are scheduling Subaru tire rotations and brake inspections every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, and inspections for the coolant and hoses around every 10,000 miles.
How Can I Protect My EV Between Appointments?
With a few simple steps, you can support your vehicle's functionality between service appointments. Always make sure to follow the charging directions, avoid using extension cords when charging, and keep your charging ports clear and dry. Account for cold and hot weather, which can affect battery capacity, and try to adjust your route as you are able to reduce wear to specific parts and systems.
