Maintenance of Electric Vehicles (EV's)
EVs do not require tune-ups or oil changes associated with conventional vehicles. In addition, EVs do not have timing belts, water pumps, radiators, fuel injectors, or tailpipes to replace. Battery recharging can be a frequent and lengthy process, however, taking 4 to 14 hours depending on the battery type and the voltage level used in recharging. High-voltage, fast-charging units (which take approximately 10 to 20 minutes to charge) are under development. Currently, they are being designed for limited use by some fleet operators and public charging locations.
