Easy EV Service: Keeping Your System Buzzing

Unlike conventional gas-engine vehicles, EVs require unique service needs. Our certified technicians at Preston Hyundai are specially trained and have the expertise to handle these. Here’s what your Hyundai EV service typically includes:

EV Battery Health Check: This crucial inspection assesses your EV battery’s condition, including its capacity, temperature management, and overall health. Early detection of any issues ensures optimal performance and range during your Hyundai EV service appointment.

Software Updates: Just like your smartphone, your Hyundai EV’s software needs occasional updates to keep it running efficiently and unlock new features. We handle these updates seamlessly at your scheduled Hyundai EV service appointment.

Charging System Inspection: We check the health of your onboard charger and charging port, ensuring safe and efficient charging at home or on the go.

Regenerative Braking System Check: This unique system in EVs converts braking energy back into electricity, boosting range. We ensure its proper function for optimal efficiency and safety.

Comprehensive Vehicle Inspection: Similar to traditional cars, we perform a multi-point inspection covering brakes, tires, suspension, lighting, and other vital components during all Hyundai EV service appointments.

Efficient EV Maintenance

While EVs have fewer moving parts than gas-powered cars, there are still essential maintenance tasks to keep them humming. Our top Hyundai EV car maintenance essentials include:

Tire Rotation and Alignment: Just like any car, proper tire care is crucial for both safety and optimal performance. Regular rotation and alignment ensure even wear and tear, maximizing tire life and range, so you can explore further with every charge.
Cabin Air Filter Replacement: This filter cleans the air you breathe inside your car. Replacing it regularly ensures clean, fresh air, which is especially important for allergy sufferers, keeping your journey comfortable and healthy. This might not seem like a major part of Hyundai EV service, but it is definitely one of our essentials to ensure you have a comfortable commute!

Wiper Blade Replacement: Worn-out wiper blades can compromise visibility in bad weather. We inspect and replace them as needed to ensure safe driving in all conditions, rain or shine, as a part of our EV service routine.

Fluid Maintenance: Even hybrids, EVs, and PHEVs require specific fluid checks and changes, depending on the model. Our technicians ensure your engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant are at optimal levels during your Hyundai EV service, guaranteeing smooth operation and extended vehicle life.

Taking Care of Your EV: Optimizing Your Electric Adventures

While service and maintenance are essential, there are ways you can maximize the performance and longevity of your EV at home:

Optimize Charging Habits: One of our top tips for daily EV service and care? While it is tempting, avoid frequently charging your battery to 100% and opt for 80-90% for daily use. This extends battery life and reduces unnecessary stress on the system.

Park Smart: Whenever possible, park in cool, shaded areas to protect the battery from extreme temperatures. This simple step can significantly improve battery health and longevity.

Map Out Your Adventures: Utilize apps and mobile tools to locate the nearest charging stations to ensure you never run out of battery. Complimentary charging can be accessed on select models, such as the Hyundai IONIQ 5, through Electrify America. This means you can quickly stop at any Electrify America fast-charging station in the network. Speak with our team to learn more about the program and if your Hyundai qualifies for this special Hyundai EV service!

Stay Informed: Refer to your Hyundai owner’s manual for specific care recommendations for your Hyundai model. Understanding your vehicle’s unique needs allows you to make informed decisions for optimal performance and peace of mind.
