Brake fluid naturally absorbs moisture from the air, a process that becomes more pronounced in EVs, which use full braking less frequently, reducing the heat needed to remove moisture from the brake system. This moisture can lead to diminished braking performance, especially during hard braking scenarios. Additionally, brake fluid accumulates debris and sediments over time, which can harm seals and components within the brake system. To maintain optimal braking performance and prolong the life of your vehicle's brake system, EV LAB recommends replacing the brake fluid every two years. This proactive maintenance ensures your brakes operate reliably and safely under all driving conditions.
We inspect your braking system to ensure proper operation, following manufacturer recommendations or as needed. Additionally, we may recommend brake fluid changes every two years, or as specified by the manufacturer, to maintain continued reliability. Your electric vehicle benefits from regenerative braking, where the electric motor slows the vehicle and charges the battery simultaneously. This method is more efficient than conventional mechanical brakes but can lead to less frequent use of mechanical brake components, making brake pads and rotors more prone to corrosion. If pads become seized, it can cause increased wear, reduced braking performance, and dragging, ultimately affecting your vehicle's range and safety. To maintain peak performance, EV LAB recommends an annual disassembly, cleaning, and lubrication of the pads and calipers. This proactive maintenance ensures your brakes remain in optimal condition, providing reliable performance when you need it most.

The reduction gear transfers power from the electric motor to the wheels, playing a crucial role in efficient vehicle operation. Reduction gear oil lubricates internal components, ensuring smooth operation and heat dissipation. However, over time, heat and contaminants can degrade the oil, compromising its effectiveness. At EV LAB, we inspect the gear housing for leaks as part of our maintenance routine. Regularly checking oil levels and replacing the gear fluid is recommended to maintain optimal performance and extend the life of the reduction gear system. Many manufacturers advise changing the reduction gear oil every 12 months to ensure peak efficiency and longevity.
