Your EV Is Different, Your Service Centre Should Be Too
Evs, see them on the road and they look and drive just like the cars you’re used to. But once you open the bonnet, or even the driver’s door, it becomes quickly obvious they’re very different beasts indeed.
Modern vehicles, whether petrol, hybrid or full electric, are packed with sophisticated technology that goes far beyond what’s under the bonnet. Advanced driver assistance systems like lane keeping assist, self-parking and automatic emergency braking are now common across all vehicle types, and these systems need regular calibrating rather than traditional servicing to ensure their continued effectiveness. These systems also need regular upgrades as new tech comes online, much like computer operating systems.
And while EVs only have a fraction of the number of moving parts you’ll find in any combustion engine-based vehicle, that doesn’t make them maintenance free. On the contrary, a lot of EV functions feature highly complex systems like their thermal management system, which regulates battery, motor and power electronics temperatures and sophisticated high voltage (HV) power management systems, including the battery management system, inverter and onboard charger. Regular maintenance of these minimises costly failures and ensures safe, reliable operation.
EVs are radically different and require specialist attention to keep them running at optimal performance levels. NexDrive are exactly that, a global service network specialising in the future tech employed in both electric and hybrid systems as well as in traditional engined vehicles too. NexDrive is now here in New Zealand featuring a network of local workshops, each staffed with highly trained technicians and all the latest tools, diagnostic equipment and updates to ensure your EV or hybrid vehicle is running at peak levels in both performance and safety.
NexDrive are also the experts in Battery Health checks (of obvious critical importance in EVs!), filter replacement and air conditioning servicing. Brake care is also key due to the kinetic energy systems as well as safety. They also make sure to check your tyres as they are carrying a heavier load with the battery weight onboard.
NexDrive also cover smartphone integrations, infotainment and vehicle communication systems.
As a trusted automotive partner globally, NexDrive also means you no longer have to get your new vehicle servicing done in the dealership. To ensure your warranty claims remain valid, you need only ask NexDrive to keep your service records updated. Plus, with the ever-increasing number of second hand EVs and hybrids coming into the country, NexDrive are delivering some much needed servicing relief to the ballooning used market.
