electric car or a hybrid, you need to be aware of the fact that tires need to be checked and replaced. Tire pressure is important on every vehicle. The correct tire pressure give a good ride and slows down the wear on the tires. With a hybrid vehicle it will ensure good mileage, too.

Brakes WearBrakes Wear

All vehicles, including electric cars and hybrid cars, need brakes. As a general rule these should be checked every 20,000 miles. In most cases no brake shoe replacement should be necessary until around 40,000 miles, although checking regularly will ensure that the brakes don’t wear down.

Suspension is common to all vehicles and needs to be checked. In most instances there’s no maintenance necessary until the shocks or struts eventually have to be replaced and this only occurs rarely.

There’s a great deal more maintenance involved with a hybrid vehicle. As it uses a conventional engine, it’s necessary to change the oil regularly. Check the owner’s manual for a schedule.

Transmission fluid is also important and you’ll need to check this and replace or top up as necessary.
