Understanding Chevy EV Maintenance & Service
One of the most significant advantages of owning a Chevy EV is the reduced need for traditional service compared to gasoline vehicles.

However, scheduled Chevy EV service is still essential to ensure your electric vehicle operates at peak efficiency and has a long, healthy lifespan.

The Importance of EV Maintenance at Preston Chevrolet of Aberdeen
Beyond scheduled Chevy EV service, there are steps you can take to maintain your electric vehicle and maximize its efficiency.
Charging Habits: Proper charging habits go a long way in preserving your Chevy EV’s battery health. Avoid letting the battery completely drain, and whenever possible, opt for slower charging at home overnight rather than frequent rapid charging stations.
Regenerative Braking: Utilize your Chevy EV’s regenerative braking system whenever possible. This innovative technology captures energy during braking and puts it back into the battery, extending your range and reducing wear and tear on the traditional braking system.
Climate Control Usage: Extreme temperatures can impact battery performance. Utilize your Chevy EV’s climate control system efficiently, and consider pre-conditioning the cabin while plugged in to minimize battery drain during operation.
