How to Care for Your GMC EV

Driving a GMC EV brings a new level of convenience and efficiency, and at Lester Glenn GMC, we want to help you keep it that way. Electric vehicles may simplify some aspects of maintenance, but they also have special needs that set them apart from gas-powered models. By learning a few key care tips, you’ll protect your EV’s performance and enjoy every mile with confidence.

Service Needs for EVs

One of the benefits of a GMC EV is that it has fewer moving parts under the hood, which means less routine maintenance compared to non-EVs. You won’t need oil changes or fuel system servicing, but regular checks of brake fluid, cabin air filters, and tire condition remain essential. Electric vehicles also rely on specialized cooling systems for their batteries and electronics, so keeping these systems in good working order is vital.

Protecting Your EV Battery

Proper care of your GMC EV’s battery will help maintain range and performance. Whenever possible, avoid letting the battery drop to extremely low levels or staying at full charge for long periods. Using a Level 2 home charger provides consistent and efficient charging, and preconditioning the cabin while plugged in can help reduce energy consumption on the road.

Software Updates and Diagnostics

Many GMC EVs receive software updates that enhance performance, add features, and improve efficiency. Keeping your vehicle’s software current ensures you’re getting the latest improvements.
