Electromobility is revolutionizing the automotive industry and posing new questions for many car owners. One frequently asked question is: How often does an electric car need to go to the workshop? In this article, we shed light on the maintenance requirements of electric vehicles compared to conventional combustion engines and show why an ARI e-vehicle can be easily serviced in any well-stocked workshop.

 

### Less maintenance required: electric cars vs. combustion engines

 

#### Fewer moving parts

 

A key difference between [electric cars](<https://www.ari-motors.com/elektroautos>) and combustion engines lies in the number of moving parts. While a combustion engine has hundreds of moving components - from pistons and valves to exhaust systems - electric cars have a much simpler design. This leads to a lower likelihood of mechanical problems and therefore significantly reduces maintenance costs.

 

#### No oil change necessary

 

[Electric cars](<https://www.ari-motors.com/elektroautos>) do not require regular oil changes, which not only saves costs but also simplifies the maintenance process. With combustion engines, oil changes are one of the most frequent maintenance tasks and usually have to be carried out every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers.

 

#### Fewer wearing parts

 

Brakes in [electric cars](/en) often wear out more slowly than in combustion engines. Thanks to regenerative braking, some of the braking work is done electrically, which reduces mechanical wear. In addition, there are no exhaust gas components such as catalytic converters or particulate filters, which have to be regularly serviced or replaced in combustion engines.

 

#### Regular inspections are nevertheless important

 

Despite the lower maintenance requirements, electric cars should be serviced regularly to ensure their optimum performance and longevity. Important inspections include:

 

- **Battery check:** the battery is the heart of an electric car. Regular checks ensure that it works efficiently and maximizes its lifespan. 

- **Software updates:** Modern electric vehicles are heavily software-dependent. Updates ensure improved performance and safety. 

- **Tire and brake maintenance:** Regular checks of tires and brakes are also essential for electric cars. 

 

#### Similarities in maintenance

 

Despite the differences, there are also some maintenance aspects that are similar for both vehicle types:

 

- **Inspection of electronics:** both e-cars and combustion cars have complex electronic systems that need to be checked and maintained. 

- **Equipment features:** Air conditioning, infotainment systems and other convenience features require regular maintenance and updates. 

- **Safety checks:** Brakes, lights and seatbelts need to be checked regularly on both vehicle types to ensure safety. 

 

### ARI electric vehicles: flexibility in maintenance

 

A major advantage of [electric vehicles from ARI Motors](<https://www.ari-motors.com/>) is their compatibility with any well-stocked workshop. Thanks to standardized components and comprehensive documentation, ARI electric cars can be easily serviced in almost any workshop. This offers owners maximum flexibility and security, as they are not dependent on specialized electric vehicle workshops.

 

### Advantages for ARI Motors e-vehicle owners:

 

- **Accessibility**: any competent mechanic can carry out basic maintenance work. 

- **Cost savings:** Competition between workshops ensures fair prices and transparent costs. 

- **Convenience**: No long waiting times for specialized workshop appointments. 

 

### Conclusion

 

Electric cars, especially those from ARI Motors, require significantly less maintenance than traditional combustion engines. Fewer moving parts, no oil changes and reduced wear parts mean that electric cars require fewer visits to the workshop. Nevertheless, regular inspections are essential to ensure the performance and longevity of the vehicle. With the flexibility that ARI e-vehicles can be serviced at any well-stocked garage, owners benefit from added convenience and peace of mind.
