EV spring check: How to start the season safely

EV spring check: get ready for the warmer months safely

Winter places considerable demands on electric vehicles. When temperatures rise again, it is 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. Our clear checklist will help you get your vehicle into top shape!

Why an EV spring check is essential

Cold, road salt and ice put a heavy strain on your electric vehicle's sensitive components. When spring arrives, battery chemistry works much more efficiently again in milder temperatures, but winter wear does not disappear by itself. A professional spring check ensures that the battery can deliver its full power and that thermal management is ready for fast charging. Only a well-maintained vehicle fully benefits from the ideal conditions of the warmer months.

Your EV checklist for the new season

Work through the following items on our practical electric-car checklist to prevent technical failures and improve driving comfort:

1. Tyre change and pressure: Swap your winter tyres for summer tyres. Correct tyre pressure noticeably reduces rolling resistance and increases your vehicle's range.
2. Battery and thermal management: Have the coolant systems inspected. Working thermal management is essential to prevent the battery from overheating during high-speed charging.
3. Windshield wipers and filters: Replace wiper blades damaged by frost and change the cabin air filter to ensure pleasant air quality for people with allergies.
4. Inspect charging equipment: check your private charging cables and plugs for weather-related cracks or corrosion. Clean contacts ensure safe, low-loss power transmission.

Once you have checked off every item on this list, nothing stands in the way of carefree driving around the city!
