BMW EV Service in Sherman Oaks, CA

While BMW service isn't nearly as intensive for electric vehicles, "low maintenance" still doesn't mean "no maintenance." BMW of Sherman Oaks is here to ensure that your BMW EV's performance, safety, and reliability are optimal. Let's take a closer look at the essentials and how they differ from those of cars with internal combustion engines.

What Doesn't an EV Need?

Several things are vital to ICE vehicles that EVs simply don't need. These include oil changes, timing belt adjustments, fuel filters, and spark plug replacements. And since there are no emissions to speak of, exhaust service and emissions inspections are a thing of the past.

What Do EVs Share with Conventional Vehicles?

Some service essentials will carry over from any other BMW model you have owned. For example, you will still need periodic tire rotations, wheel alignment, and new BMW tires. Your EV also requires periodic coolant, HVAC, and transmission inspections.

How is Service Different for a BMW EV?

Some services are somewhat more intensive. For instance, your EV uses regenerative braking, so while your brake pads will experience longer service life, the system still needs periodic inspection and calibration. Most electric vehicles also have a transmission, but it's a single-speed, so maintenance is minimal.

The most significant difference is your vehicle's electrical system. There are two batteries in play: a 12V battery that powers low-voltage systems and the lithium-ion battery pack that provides power to the electric motors. Both require inspections to ensure they operate within acceptable limits and do not lose charge.
