How often should BYD pure electric vehicles be serviced?

[VanIker]

BYD pure electric vehicles generally have a service interval of one year or 5,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to electric vehicle maintenance: 1. Maintenance items: Unlike fuel-powered vehicles, pure electric vehicles have relatively simple maintenance. Routine maintenance mainly includes: three-electric system inspection, chassis inspection, lighting inspection, and tire inspection. 2. Minor maintenance: Only requires inspection of the three-electric system, chassis, and lighting, which can basically be completed in one to two hours. 3. Major maintenance: In addition to minor maintenance items, replacing the cabin air filter, as well as changing the steering fluid, transmission oil, coolant, and brake fluid every two years or 40,000 kilometers are essential maintenance tasks that cannot be skipped.

I've been driving a BYD pure electric car for almost three years now, and honestly, the maintenance intervals are much more convenient than with gasoline cars. Usually, it's enough to go once a year or every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers driven, mainly to check for brake pad wear, tire pressure, and any issues with the chassis suspension. The battery system is crucial; the service center will scan and test the battery's health to prevent overcharging or capacity degradation from affecting the range. Before each maintenance visit, I always check the tires and lights myself to save time and money at the shop. Remember, regular maintenance can prevent breakdowns on the road, giving you peace of mind and saving money. I always stick to the manual's recommendations.

When maintaining a BYD electric vehicle, avoid unnecessary tinkering. The key is to maximize intervals to save money and hassle. The manufacturer recommends servicing once a year or every 12,000 kilometers, primarily to replace the air filter and inspect the electrical system. I've calculated that going just once a year costs much less than maintaining a gasoline car. You can also perform basic maintenance at home, such as regular washing to prevent dust buildup from clogging the cooling system. Additionally, software updates are crucial, as BYD frequently releases upgrades to optimize energy efficiency. In short, follow the official advice and avoid frequent visits to the 4S shop—this protects your car without wasting money.

Safety first when considering maintenance intervals, what I value most about driving an electric vehicle is preventing problems before they occur. BYD electric vehicles must be inspected every 12 months, otherwise there is a risk of issues with the high-voltage battery system. For example, assessing whether the battery pack is damaged, checking if the brake fluid level is normal, and ensuring quick brake response. Related driving habits also affect maintenance effectiveness, such as avoiding long-term inactivity to prevent the battery from going into dormancy. It is recommended that fellow drivers develop the habit of recording mileage and not delay maintenance for too long to prevent risks like short circuits and fires.
