MINI Cooper EV Maintenance Guide

As you drive around Evesham Township and Cherry Hill, you are sure to notice more and more electric vehicles on the roads. Why is this? Many drivers are turning to the EV segment for its environmental benefits, and another added benefit is that electric vehicles are easier to maintain. Their simpler construction means fewer moving parts and less maintenance over time. However, it is still important to stick to the service intervals recommended by the automaker. If you have questions about MINI Cooper EV maintenance, you have come to the right place. We explore the basics of MINI electric car maintenance in the guide below. 

MINI Electric Car Maintenance 

Below, we explore some of the key MINI Cooper EV maintenance tasks your vehicle will require to perform at its best on Hamilton Township roads. 

Battery Care

EV batteries have a long lifespan, but to get the most out of your battery, keep these tips in mind. 

• When possible, prevent exposure to extreme heat or cold. Extreme temperatures will drain your battery and make the charge less efficient.
• Avoid charging your battery to 100%. It’s best to keep it within 20-80% for maximum efficiency.
• Avoid using “Fast Charge” stations on a regular basis. While this may be your fastest charging option, it also depletes your battery quicker. 

Brake Care

Most EVs use regenerative braking, but wear and tear on brake discs and pads will still happen. However, it will likely happen at a slower rate. Check your brake system on a regular basis to be sure it’s safe for Mount Laurel roads. 

Tire Care

EV battery packs are quite heavy, and this added weight can cause your tires to wear down a bit more rapidly. Don’t forget to check your tire pressure, inspect the tread, and ensure your tires are aligned correctly. 

Fluids & Filters 

While regular oil changes are a thing of the past, other fluids will need to be maintained for smooth driving. 

• Coolant
• Brake Fluid
• Windshield Wiper Fluid

Your EV does not have a fuel filter or an engine air filter, but it does still have cabin filters and HVAC filters that require replacement on a regular basis.
