Tips for EV and Hybrid Drivers Near Harrisburg, PA
Here's a few simple ways to keep your Kia EV or hybrid running like new.
Park Your EV or Hybrid Inside
Colder weather negatively affects hybrid and EV batteries. One way to reduce the wear and tear on the vehicle is to keep it parked inside.
Pre-Condition Your Hybrid or EV
Most EVs and hybrid vehicles allow you to configure your battery so that it 'pre-heats.' Scheduling your daily routine so the vehicle starts with the battery already warmed up will improve battery life and range. Batteries charge best when they're already warmed up – so precondition your battery when possible.
Battery-Specific Maintenance
While electric powertrains are low maintenance compared to combustion engines, it still takes a certified expert to keep them running like new. From battery cell health to physical connections, a battery health checkup can catch issues early and ensure your EV or hybrid vehicle runs like the day you brought it home.
