EV spring check: How to start safely into the warmer season

Winter takes its toll on electric vehicles. When temperatures rise again, it’s the perfect time for a thorough spring check. Proper maintenance maximises range, safety, and efficiency.

In this article, you will learn what really matters for EVs in spring. With our clear checklist, you can get your vehicle in top shape!

 

Why an EV spring check is essential

Cold, road salt, and ice put a heavy strain on the sensitive components of your electric vehicle. As soon as spring arrives, battery chemistry works much more efficiently again at milder temperatures, but winter wear and tear does not simply disappear. A professional spring check ensures that the battery can deliver its full performance and that the thermal management system is ready for fast charging. Only a well-maintained vehicle can fully benefit from the ideal conditions of the warmer months.

 

Your EV checklist for the perfect start to the season

Work through the following points on our practical EV checklist to avoid technical failures and increase driving comfort:

  1. Tyre change and air pressure: Swap winter tyres for summer tyres. Optimally adjusted tyre pressure noticeably reduces rolling resistance and increases the range of your vehicle.
  2. Battery and thermal management: Have the coolant systems checked. A functioning thermal management system is essential so that the battery does not overheat when charging at high speeds.
  3. Windscreen wipers and filters: Replace wiper blades damaged by frost and change the cabin filter to offer allergy sufferers pleasant air quality.
  4. Inspect charging equipment: Check your private charging cables and plugs for weather-related cracks or corrosion. Clean contacts guarantee a lossless and safe power transfer.

Once you have ticked off all the items on this checklist, nothing stands in the way of a carefree drive through the city!
