Tips to Maintain a BMW Electric Vehicle

Are you thinking about “going green” with a BMW EV? If so, we congratulate you on your decision! An EV rewards drivers with the knowledge that they’re doing their part for the environment. EVs also reward motorists by not requiring them to visit our BMW service center as often as they’d have to if they’d gotten a hybrid or conventional vehicle instead.

How you should maintain a BMW electric vehicle

Things You Can Do

When you purchase or lease a new BMW EV, caring for your vehicle will involve things you can do and tasks that are best left in the hands of our certified, factory-trained technicians. One of the easiest things you can do is to refrain from overcharging or undercharging your EV, especially for prolonged periods. In general, the battery in your automobile should be charged between 20-80 percent capacity. Charging too much or little will cause your battery to wear faster than it should.

Changing your windshield wipers every six to 12 months is another easy task you can handle as is checking the air pressure in your tires every month or so. You can pick up new windshield wipers and a tire pressure monitor in our BMW parts center.

How We Can Help
