Maintaining your vehicle performance is essential
Vehicle plays a very important role in our daily life. It helps us to commute to the workplace, or just to hang out, to go to our holiday destination, and beyond. Therefore, keeping your vehicles optimal performance is necessary and different types of vehicles have different maintenance.
In general, vehicles are taken to their authorized workshops to get checked regularly. Regular checkup for our vehicles is important to avoid troublesome breakdowns on the road. From as simple as checking the radiator coolant, battery water level, emission test, brake shoe, to overhaul recommendations, authorized workshops have the standard procedure to keep their customers vehicles to always be in top condition.
But now, vehicle category has evolved. There are conventional vehicles, which are gasoline-powered, and the engine is fueled by fossil fuels like gasoline. And the ones with hybrid engine which has internal combustion engine but is assisted by an electric motor or motors.
And the most popular one lately is electric vehicle (EV). And most people believe that electric vehicle is the future. This type of vehicles use battery instead of fossil fuels to power their electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. Electric vehicles, as suggested by the category, is a full electric powered vehicle that have zero emissions and claimed to have a very good impact in improving a better and greener world.
In 2009, a multi-government forum was established and initiated to promote policies and programs for electric vehicle technology and to share lessons learned and best practices for the electric vehicles industry worldwide to reduce the dependency towards fossil fuels as the nature is non-renewable and produce pollution which harms our health and generate toxic emissions. The initiative is called EVI (ELECTRIC VEHICLES INITIATIVE).
These two vehicle categories have slightly different way to maintain. The conventional vehicles basically are all mentioned before and for the electric ones require less maintenance. A straightforward checkup on battery, includes the voltage and/or water level, suspensions, tires, and other electrical components is enough. If it’s all good, then your EV is ready to go.
