Electric vehicles (EVs) often have instant torque, which can lead to increased tire wear if not managed properly. Houska Automotive’s trained technicians assess tire wear patterns specific to EVs and Hybrids, ensuring even wear and maximizing tire lifespan.
Tire Pressure
Maintaining the correct tire pressure is crucial for electric and hybrid vehicles. Properly inflated tires enhance fuel efficiency and contribute to optimal handling and braking performance. Our team uses specialized tools to accurately measure and adjust tire pressure, keeping your vehicle safe and efficient. So, regular maintenance is the key to prolonging the life of any vehicle, and Electric and Hybrid vehicles have their own set of requirements.
Battery Health
The battery is the heart of an electric vehicle. Our experts are well-versed in battery maintenance, including monitoring state-of-charge levels, diagnosing potential issues, and providing necessary maintenance or replacements to ensure your vehicle’s powertrain remains reliable.
