Today’s chosen theme is “Electric Vehicle Maintenance Checklist.” Welcome to a friendly, practical guide filled with real-world tips, small stories, and a clear checklist mindset to help your EV thrive. Subscribe for fresh checklist updates, share your habits, and let’s keep those wheels whisper-quiet and worry-free.

Battery Care Essentials

Aim to keep your daily charge between 20% and 80% unless you need extra range for trips. This habit eases battery stress. Tell us your favorite daily SoC target and why it works for you.

Battery Care Essentials

Check coolant levels according to your manufacturer’s schedule and watch for alerts related to thermal performance. A stable temperature equals a happier battery. Comment if you’ve noticed range improving after proper thermal maintenance.

Tires, Alignment, and Rotation

Measure tire pressures monthly and before long drives, setting them to the door-jamb spec when cold. Underinflation hurts range and handling. What’s your go-to tire gauge and routine? Share to inspire better habits.

Brakes and Regeneration

Even with regen, inspect pads and rotors for rust, glazing, or uneven wear. Gentle periodic braking helps keep surfaces clean. Have you noticed the rainy-week squeal? Share how you solved it for good.

Brakes and Regeneration

Replace brake fluid at the manufacturer’s interval to maintain hydraulic reliability. Moisture contamination undermines performance. Add a calendar reminder, and comment if a fluid change improved pedal feel on your EV.

Brakes and Regeneration

Use regen wisely for efficiency but occasionally brake firmly in a safe area to exercise calipers. This habit can prevent sticking. What’s your technique for a smooth, confident stop without wasting energy?

Fluids, Filters, and Cabin Comfort

Follow interval checks for coolant dedicated to battery, inverter, and motor loops. Look for leaks, reservoir level changes, or alerts. Share your experience if a simple top-up restored quiet confidence on hot days.

Charging Equipment and Home Safety

Inspect for heat discoloration, frayed sheathing, or loose latches. Wipe contacts with approved cleaners and store cables off the ground. What’s your routine to keep connectors tidy in rain or dust?

Charging Equipment and Home Safety

Verify correct breaker size, GFCI functionality, and receptacle condition. If you notice warmth or nuisance trips, pause charging and investigate. Comment if an electrician visit improved your charging confidence.

Winter Preconditioning

Schedule preconditioning to warm the cabin and battery while plugged in. Pack a scraper, gloves, and a portable inflator. Tell us your coldest morning start and how preconditioning saved precious miles.

Summer Heat Strategy

Park in shade, use sunshades, and check coolant before heat waves. Slightly higher tire pressures can stabilize handling. Share your hottest road day and the tricks that kept your range steady.
