With an electric car, you have to plug it in so that it has the appropriate juice to operate. The charge goes to the battery and the battery then powers the electric motor. So, while the electric motor functions as the engine, it is fueled by the power stored in the battery.
That’s why a strong battery is vital to solid drives. For most EV models, the batteries last 10 to 20 years, giving you plenty of miles to confidently cruise around. Make sure your car’s battery is well taken care of when you:
- Avoid high temperatures, which might age the battery
- Avoid extremely low temperatures so that the battery’s performance isn’t impacted
- Charge the vehicle with appropriate power to keep the battery healthy
Make sure you schedule an EV battery inspection regularly to ensure the longevity of your ride and that everything is as it should be.
For many EV models, the intervals at when you should schedule inspections will be laid out in the recommended maintenance schedule. If you drive the Toyota bZ4X, for instance, the traction battery coolant, which is key to keeping your EV model’s battery cool—should be inspected about every 15,000 miles driven or 18 months that pass.
Be sure to bring your model in for regular maintenance. At that time, the service technicians will check that the coolant levels are correct and all the battery components are operating at a sustainable level.
Your standard New Vehicle Limited Warranty will cover the battery for, in the case of the new bZ4X, 96 months/100,000 miles. So, be sure to come in for upkeep, if you have any concerns.
