San Diego’s EV Repair Specialists

Keep Your EV Running Optimally

Although electric vehicles, or EVs, are still relatively new, their popularity has skyrocketed recently. And as more people seek ways to reduce their carbon footprint, the number of electric cars on the roads will only continue to rise. While EVs are more fuel-efficient and affordable to maintain than conventional vehicles, they still experience their fair share of problems. As such, EV owners need to know what problems their cars can face and what red flags to watch out for. Luckily, the EV repair technicians at West Automotive Group in San Diego County, California, have you covered. Here are the top three repairs EV owners should be aware of.

3 Common EV Repairs We See at Our Shop

Here are the top three common electric vehicle problems our mechanics repair at our shop.

Battery Replacements

Hands down, the most common EV repair we see at our shop is battery replacements. While electric vehicle batteries can last for up to 10 to 20 years, yours may need to be replaced sooner than that. If your check engine light is on, you notice a decrease in fuel economy, or if your car is experiencing charging problems, schedule an appointment at one of our [autolab_locations_count] locations.

Regenerative Brake Failure

Another common EV problem is regenerative brake failure. Regenerative brakes are a safety feature many electric vehicles have that uses kinetic energy to slow down or stop. While regenerative brakes are much more durable than traditional brake pads, they will eventually need to be repaired and/or replaced. If you hear grinding noises, see leaking fluids, or if your car is pulling to one side, give us a call today.

Charging System Repairs

Unlike conventional cars that require gas, electric vehicles get juiced up at charging stations. However, if your car’s charging system isn’t working properly, you’ll notice a significant reduction in power and performance. If your fan isn’t working, the charger burns out, or your car takes longer to charge, call our EV repair shop today.
