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.
