- Now I've been an EV driver for over a year, it's time to look at servicing EVs. What's involved? Can you do it yourself? How much does it cost, compared to a petrol or diesel?
I've come to @TheHendyGroup to chat to their Director of Servicing about all things associated with servicing EVs and he's got some great advice too.
I'm looking at all aspects of owning an EV. If you want to join me on #MyEVJourney, please subscribe and don't forget to click on the alert button for notifications.

Because EV's don't require as much servicing, I found that the main dealer i use was making things up to service. For instance, they recommended that the front brake pads and discs should be replaced. I refused and examined them myself and found that the discs were of good width, with no lips or corrosion and the pads had enough meat on them for years of future use and weren't cracked or worn unevenly. They were tring to scam me and are still in use over a year later. Ev brakes wear down much slower because of regenerative braking.
A content creator on TH-cam was charged £700 for the service of his EV
That's a thing at all dealerships. They always upsell things to people that don't know any better. My VW dealer pulled the brake pad sales pity on me at 50k miles. Now at 80k still original pads. They lost my business that day.
Yes scammers come in all types of camouflage.
EW is scam
Big question. One: how long do the batteries last and Two: how much do the replacement batteries cost and Three: how do we dispose of the old batteries?
Q One: 8 to 10 years.
Q Two: $10,000 to $25,000 dollars.
Q Three: There are currently no recycling plants to deal with used Lithium ion batteries, this simply means that they will most likely end up on land fill sites. The other possibility, they will be stored on vacant land areas out of sight out of mind for future concerns. Now that wasn't mentioned by the service manager. As a retired DC electrician, I can assure you that if you come in contact with 1,000 VDC, you will not survive......
"One: how long do the batteries last" 1000 cycles if you stress them - always drive 250+
- Thats 1000 times the battery capacity. e.g. 75kWh = 375km = 375.000km total range until they have lost 30%.
If you use them regularly you can expect 1500-2000 cycles. Or about 600.000-700.000 km
If you use them very gently you can expand their lifetime to 3000-5000 cycles. That may be up to 1.5 million kilometers.
Nobody knows whether the batteries have a timeout. Nobody has found any up until now. You can not answer this question at all.
"Two: how much do the replacement batteries cost" Much. Give me a manufacturer and i can found out
" Three: how do we dispose of the old batteries? " Sorry if i am being sarcastic here.
Sure. Just put them in the bin. What do you expect? Don't you throw away throusands every year?
Of course batteries are recycled. They are a valuable ressource.
" There are currently no recycling plants to deal with used Lithium ion batteries" Thats nonsense. Of course there are. In which land do you live? Europe? There are 3 plants. USA? There are 3 active and 15 more plants coming Online in the next years. I do not know about Asia.
Thanks for debunking the verbal diarrhea from anton brum@@wolfgangpreier9160
It was surprising that the opportunity wasn’t taken to discuss the risk of battery fires in the workshop and the control measures in place to deal with them.
I was thinking the very same thing.
I'm not her vids are aimed at 5 year olds :(
To say the 12volt battery & then the traction battery caries more voltage says nothing.he should have said it's around 400volts one wrong move & were talking death
It’s about the servicing of the car not the garage.
@@oscarsusan3834 a car battery fire in the service area is a significant risk to cars and service staff in the area.
They have not learned from Gruber.
This is an excellent channel. Most cars will be serviced by small independent garages. I wonder what they have to say about this issue. Hendy employ 1600 staff - their workshop rates will be at least £160/hr+ vat. Good luck with that.
Doesn’t have drive shafts, doesn’t have a gearbox……I think you find they do.
Don’t take your car to the dealer, they can’t service an ICE car properly let alone an EV. Take your car to any HEVRA independent garage, they are fully trained in EV servicing and will be cheaper than dealers
If it does not have drive shafts how can it move?
@@georgekennedy2051some EVs have motors mounted inside the wheel hub. This no drive shaft.
@@TheAefrilYes golf carts or communal machines. Not in "regular" EVs.
Mine do not have gearboxes. You have some of those? So you drive Porsche Taycan. Ok.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 all EVs have gearboxes, you dont think that motor can be controlled without a reduction gearbox
guess im sticking with my diesel
Then why bother to announce it on here?
@@andytunnicliffe7223 To find plenty of fellow feeling.
And continue poisoning your children. Verry good and thoughtful decision!
Certification for technicians to be able to work on these evs is costing upto 2000 pounds, plus the cost to the dealer for specialist ev safety equipment and tools. All needs to paid for by the customer. Local main dealer to me has said 200 quid an hour. Happy days
"Local main dealer to me has said 200 quid an hour." Sound about the same what Mercedes and Audi want from their fossil customers. Yes.
MacMaster with his Porche Taycan was charged £1,400 for his service including two tyres. He said tyres on an EV dont last long because of the additional weight
We just found your channel. Great to see a lady so interested in cars. (My wife is too). We read that batteries will not do well in extremely😟 *hot temperatures* . We live in *Texas* . The summers range from 105-125 daily. Guess that means no EV for Texas? 😁I like my classic and modern cars and trucks. No Electric cars for Texas. *GREAT*
I would guess less is done, but the costs are more?
You would guess right. There is very little to be done. Teslas don't even have a service schedule and all updates are done over the air. So no need to take them to the dealership for updates.
Philippa is very good at asking good pertinent questions.
If you're 5 years old then yes
10:18 Worst fears made live! How can the battery be the main structure of the car. Plus a rock going into that would tear the whole thing. Not even in a pretection cage. These EV's are dangerous.
"Plus a rock going into that would tear the whole thing." An accident with godzilla would hurt much more.
Be sensible. Why should a rock do anything from the underside? What a funny way to think.
How about a man going before every car waving a red flag to warn the other horse riders from this loud contraption?
Fascinating video, thanks.
Very helpful,
Thanks Phillipa, keep em coming lovely 😊 x
Thank you! Will do!
This is a very interesting topic and worth exploring further. Being a used car buyer making sure the service history is as per the manufacturers requirements is important to make sure the warranty is'nt void. EV's don't need servicing so much and on average use the brakes a 1/3 of the amount. The problem is some legacy automakers are asking for the cars to come and replacing things like coolant and brake fluid when they don't really need it. I recommend a health check on any car once a year though. Or on a 3 yr and older car a Hevra approved garage to do the MOT. 😉⚡🔋
It’s good that EV only have a fraction of the parts that petrol/diesel cars need, so much less parts to keep replacing all the time.
@@philtucker1224 with 68k on our Tesla M3 LR I hope she'll get us to 200k without too much trouble
@@chargeheadsuk sounds good to me.
I took up the BMW 4 year service pack for my i4. Worth it for peace of mind, and the dealership is local to me. There are a few "qualified" garages local to me, but not having used any of them before, how do I know I can trust them? For me, at least I know that BMW will be doing a good job, as they have to keep up the warranty. And I know EVs don't need much, but £394 for 4 years (covers 2 services in that period) isn't extortionate. And they let you spread the cost, interest-free over 10 months.
@@Nick_Smith1970 That sounds pretty good Nick, (I’m impressed that these EVs only need a periodic service once every two years, that a lot less than our “old smokers”! ) 😊😊😊
My office has a defibrillator, and we do not deal with any electric cars. It is just a good piece of kit to have.
Interesting. I think he was making things sound a lot worse than they are... which is no surprise as he is selling his services. It's typical of Jaguar to be behind when it comes to over the air updates and needing to be plugged in. When I had a Jaguar it was hopeless, as was customer support. In the garage every 6 months having something fixed.
What dapper servicemen you have in the auto repair business!
Easily pleased.
This video just shows, dealers are making things up to charge a continuous annual 'check' service.
Teslas are every 30k and costs about £60
My first service on my EV cost £72, it took an hour. My second service cost me £227 odds, again it took them an hour to service my EV. On my invoice it stated it was £187 for labour? I questioned the labour price seeing it is only one man doing the service - Their answer was - That's the price for a service! One has to have the servicing done on their EV, so to protect the 7 year guarantee of the EV battery! Buying an EV to help the ozone layer is costing those who have went down the same road as I and many others - Those who are not willing to buy an EV can run about in any combustion vehicle and either service it themselves, which is no big fete! Now I wished I was like those, as I know a bit about combustion cars! EV owners are being robbed with the servicing of their EV
That was fascinating and an area of EVs that I've not seen covered before. Well done. 😁
The considerable expense that the garage needs to invest to service a vehicle that requires less time to work on or charge for parts must make the economic profile of the business very tricky. Less small garages will be prepared to risk that investment, so there will be fewer garages, and only the big dealers will survive, if at all. Then prices will rise. A secondhand vehicle is going to be prohibitively expensive to repair, resulting in a shorter life span with massive depreciation. So I don't see cheap electric vehicles that are cheap to run as the future.
What then may happen is you don't own the vehicle, as is currently happening with sky-high prices for ice and EV cars already.
A great inciteful film. Keep them coming.
I have an ev servicing company come to my house to service and repair my EV. They drive EVs and do vehicles all over the uk. There is not additional expenses unless you’re going to strip down the battery, and that’s just PPE and insulated tools, which only cost a small amount extra compared to standard tools. They have a garage base they can work from, but all EVs can be serviced anywhere
When he mentioned Turning off Regen to use the friction brakes to stop corrosion. Yes some EV’s will let you turn it off but they all still use regen first when you brake unless you break pretty hard. I found when driving through a Ford or lots of water your brakes stay wet till you next come to a complete stop. I usually brake hard after passing through a Ford (if it’s safe to do so)
"Yes some EV’s will let you turn it off but they all still use regen first when you brake unless you break pretty hard. " - Ahh - No. Mine do not. I clean my brakes every day by switching to N (hold the drive lever up for more than 2 seconds) and braking down my little hill (100m high or so). Works very good.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 yes shifting to Neutral is the only way (if your car lets you) I do the same. But under normal (legal) driving you can’t.
@@craggy4749"But under normal (legal) driving you can’t." What is "normal" driving?
I can switch to N any time. And tap to drive again. I switch from forward to reverse while still driving in the other direction. Up to 3 km/h the car does not care.
The car even lets me put it into park at full speed - just tap the parking break 5 times and it produces a emergency brake immediately.
All of this is "legal".
@@wolfgangpreier9160 All cars allow you to do those things. “Normal” as in in a gear driving. Neutral is deemed not in control of your vehicle.
@@craggy4749 "Neutral is deemed not in control of your vehicle" In which country is that law? Not anywhere in Europe i can assure you.
'The brakes, the tyres, and the suspension, are classically the same.'
Then goes on to highlight due to the additional load, tyres need to be specified.
I would imagine replacement schedules come in more frequently due to this fact, along with the 5 component parts for the disc brake assembly too.
Tyres are very bad for the environment, both in manufacture and disposal, and so to own an EV for its green credentials is at best misguided, the charging profile also diminishes this aspiration too.
It may well turn out that the only true function for an EV vehicle is within a 15 minute city/20 minute neighbourhood landscape, which are currently being rolled out.
Exactly - Any smart people will be advised to keep their ICE cars for now.
I suggest you research further, brakes generally last longer as a lot of the braking is done by regeneration, using the motor to move potential energy of the vehicle back into the battery. ICE vehicles move that potential energy into heat and noise, lost out of the energy cycle forever. In 12 years of EV ownership I have never changed a set of pads in around 144,000 miles of EV driving. All vehicles wear out tyres EVs included, in my experience I see very similar tyre wear on my EV's than I did on my ICE vehicles. Power delivery is smoother and seamless so that accounts for some reduction in wear, and as you're not 'hitting' the brakes to slow down then wear is minimised here too.
As for ICE it's a largely doomed technology, complex and difficult to maintain, modern ICE require complex tools to ensure that they are operating efficiently (35%) and they still go wrong and are expensive to fix. Not to mention that once you have used up a tank full of stored energy from millions of years ago, all that heat has just been moved into the environment, which is the last place it needs to be.
Im not saying EV's are perfect as actually the best car is no car, but, until we can all have affordable, accessible and reliable public transport its considerably better than the ICE age.
EVs do not require different tyres to normal cars. I use the same tyres that I used on my Volvo S60 diesel that I do on my EV. The only difference is they’re now a bit more modern. I also don’t have to change the tyres so often even though I’m doing more mileage because the weight is distributed better
EV tires do wear quicker for people that accelerate and brake hard at every opportunity but for normal drivers there really isn’t a noticeable change in tire life.
"Then goes on to highlight due to the additional load, tyres need to be specified." Funny thing that he is completely wrong about that. My Model Y weighs less than a Audi Q7 and is faster.
"Doesn't have drive shafts", I think you will find most of them do! Also who 'threw' that charge point at the wall? the installation is gash!
I picked up on this too, something has to get the power to the wheels. Is this an indication of how much this suited fellow actually knows
No mention of the dangers when involved in an accident and the risk of fire, and electrocution when a battery shorts out , so you may need some high voltage insulation gloves,
"No mention of the dangers when involved in an accident and the risk of fire" Of course not. Its less than in a petrol car.
Nobody talks about the advantages of EVs. Only about their disadvanbtages.
Its no wonder, everybody is very much afraid of changes.
OTA's are only available to Teslas, which dont need servicing either.
Tesla's are also know for doing 300,000 miles on a set of brake pads
Bit puzzled by the pre condition line. If only 5 mins pre departure as stated then preparing temperature in the cabin useful when hot/cold. But you don't get significant battery pre conditioning without much longer pre drive periods and that is rarely worth it except for longest journeys.
" and that is rarely worth it except for longest journeys." I do that on every cold winter day.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 But is it worth it? Standard heating up of the cabin I also do in winter. Main battery preconditioning rarely worth it
@@MrJtedds Yes its worth to heat the battery.
I have forgotten once and left house with a cold battery - below zero - i had less than 300km range. Next day similar temp, heated battery 350km range in my Model 3 or Y. In summer i get about 50km more.
You say it should have more than 500km WLTP? Yes, but i talk about real world not some fancy schmancy artificial numbers.
It takes about an hour full blast to heat the battery after a very cold night.
How much of this software is needed and how much is to keep the manufacturer’s hands in your pockets ?
How much do you want them to? Buy Tesla then you know what they do.
as EV's change , the tech at the " backdoor " will have to change as well .. as seen there, the cost I assume of a " service " therefore will go up
I can’t remember servicing charges ever going down in the last 50 years…
My service costs went down, because there is less to service and less often.
@@Terayonbiker I have service charges by my Skoda, Fiat and Peugeot. But none at my Teslas. Which makes them very cost efficient.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 and if you’re not getting your serviceable parts replaced on your Tesla, then more fool you
@@Terayonbiker What has parts or no parts to do with one specific manufacturer?
Do you think Tata aka Range Rover aka Jaguar can make or deliver every part all the time? Or Polestar/Volvo? Or maybe Rivian? Or Lucid? Renault? Peugeot? VW? Or any other EV manufacturer?
If you want to hate something go ahead. I think thats a waste of time and energy. And both are not in my playbook of life.
What Hendy are saying is don't rely on anyone but them to service your EV. Nice work if you can get it !
Do they have a fireproof area to work in, if not who is going to insure the garage in the future. The vehicle is far heavier so I presume the brakes will need to be better than ice breaking systems not the same.
"if not who is going to insure the garage in the future" I wonder how those companies are called - Ah i know! Insurances!
"The vehicle is far heavier " No. Its not. Its about the same weight as a similar sized and performant fossil vehicle. You must compare Size AND performance. Not only it has 4 wheels on the ground. Then i could compare a BMW X5 with a Fiat 500E California.
Special Tires/Tyres required for EV cars now, some of these snippets of unknown information are now being given out perhaps accidentally but it does illustrate that you are being hoodwinked by the sellers. These cars are manufactured so that only the dealerships can handle any work requirements and COST IS NEVER EVER MENTIONED because they know that will jeopardise a sale. The final laughable part was the giant insulated (to resist 1000 volts) hook that can drag the auto mechanic away from the vehicle in case of any “incident”
I drive with regular tires. Why not? Hankook, Vredestein, Kleber, Pirelli (original). I have about 350.000km with all my EVs and had to go to the shop 6 times. 2 x for warranty repairs and 4 times for manufacturer mandated yearly maintenance. Those yearly maintenance were expensive and only needed by Skoda, Fiat and Peugeot.
The "real" EVs do not need any maintenance whatsoever. And they are not sold via dealers. And they are chepaer than any fossil car of similar size.
Nice..
Can you do a video about if the EV has had a accident and the problems you will have.
Calling your insurance? What do you expect?
What is the real impact on the planet when you take into consideration all the mining for the minerals for the battery? How much does it cost to replace the battery?
A high cost for the children digging out the cobalt from dangerous and unstable private cobalt mines in the congo. Child financial slavery.
@@stevezodiac491 how did you post without using this bad cobalt. I do hope you don’t drive an ICE car because you use more cobalt every year refining the fuel and oil than an ev uses in its lifetime.
Yes mining is bad, but for most mining it’s not just one mineral they’re mining for in one place. There’s probably more cobalt/lithium in your house electronic items than in an ev.
But the difference is after that the EV particle pollution levels drop to hardly anything, where ICE cars are still mining for oil throughout its life and polluting until it dies.
Anyone that says there ICE car is clean hasn’t been in a confined space with the engine running
@@stevezodiac491 old wives tale.
@@ricardobrown4878 No sir it's not a wife's tale, but the EV industry didn't start it. Been going on for decades.
I suppose it's a learning curve for both them and us .
Eventually it will be the norm , and nothing to be worried about .
Except when it comes to the final bill .
That's generally when it's fingers crossed time !!!!
So nothing ever changes in that regard .
All talk and no $ amount for anything! Typical
Especially when they burst into flames🙃
Im keeping my 1600 hdi diesel
Dont forget us CIE or diesel, not all cars are ice.
So servicing of an EV will be obviously be a fraction of the cost of an ICE car? Or not?
not
The more I see about these stupid cars I realise what a terrible idea they are. They will never have to worry about rust because the battery will be dead long before that. What about the fire risks as seen on the ferry recently, and they can’t extinguish it. No thanks.
If you read the salvage report on the car container. You will find that the deck where the EV cars was on, didn’t get damaged by fire. It was the decks above, which had the damage. These decks had the ICE cars on.
OMG such a sales pitch for a simple plug in diagnosis and general safety check. EVs dont require much maintenance, less moving parts, nothing to replace. Windscreen washer fluid and the occasional tyre or brake pad.....BUT NOT every service. "Servicing" an EV should be substantially cheaper.
And as for the 'dangerous' high voltage...ICE vehicles have fuel tanks full of extremely flammable liquid.
LOL, you don't need a special medical equipment in a repair shop for piston engine vehicles.
I say if you purchase an EV, it should be law, it is charged, by solar or wind power. If you want to go green then do it properly. Do not charge EV's with fossil fuels.
Me, I will stick to my Diesel Audi A6.
This garage layout IS a disaster waiting to happen.......Looking at all the Chinese/American vids on ev's, it is recommended that a space is created around the ev of at least 15 vehicle width in case of fire....
Dont forget ev service costs ARE very expensive....There are not many centres Nationally that can offer an accurate ev service, so be prepared for long journeys. Good luck. your going to need it....
You mean i need a aircraft hanger for every 10 EVs? And what do you do inside of cities? Do you stay away at least 15 meters of every EV?
YES.......According to the experts, thats exactly what you will need if you have an ev on charge or in a garage..........Take a look at China Insight or Serpentza.....dont believe me, then look at these two sites for whats needed & what happens IF YOU DONT !!!!!! Good luck.....you will need it.
i thought the tyres had to be built differently to carry the weight and handle the acceleration forces an ev can generate? (pun intended) also petrol cars dont have 12v spark plugs! have to stop watching this now, they found this guy brushing the floor and gave him a suit for the interview, everyone else was out for lunch.
Excited about electric cars? You think you’re saving the planet by driving them? According to Amnesty International The Democratic Republic of Congo has the world's largest reserves of cobalt, a mineral crucial to the production of Lithium battery’s and the global energy transition. Some 40,000 children are still reported to be working in mines in particularly perilous conditions, particularly in Kolwezi.
My advice, for what its worth, stay away from electric vehicles, the batteries alone are like driving with an unexploded bomb.
And driving around with 12 gallons of highly explosive petrol has no safety implications at all, right!?
@@Hell-Hound1 Just chemistry, in a piston engine car, you only carry half the energy to make the car go, the other half comes from outside the vehicle, air; for the fuel to burn. In an EV, you carry 100% the energy for the vehicle to move. in an petrol car fire, mostly people have time to get out, and fire services can put it out in seconds or minutes with just water, In an EV fire; this occurs in seconds, is like a blast furnace, and nothing can put it out, as it has way more energy and chemically provides its own oxygen to burn.
As an aside, if you put your hand in a gallon of petrol, and strike a cigarette lighter the lighter wont light because its under a liquid; there will be a spark from the flint in the lighter, but no ignition or fire from the petrol. chemistry again, petrol is not flammable or explosive, petrol vapour is, that's how piston engines work, diesel is even safer, you can pour it on a barbecue, light it with a match, it will never go boom, hell you can put a match out in a bucket of diesel if you want. It's just chemistry, prove me wrong.
sorry, not trying to school you or show some kind of educational elitist crap. rather I would like to thank you for the chance to debate, not much of that left in this world today. thanks again for responding.
What to expect: Grab your ankles.
Hmmm. That minor service looked rather basic.
Not a lot going on in this workshop, Not one lockdown notice anywhere
The sooner this madness is stopped the better. Ev batteries are dangerous i wouldnt want one in my garage or charging next to my house yet alone have a crash in one end of story. Shove them as far as you can get them. JUST NO.
The depreciation of such vehicles is hilarious 😂 kak
A cross over with the best of both is much more sensible option if your thinking about it.
I know one thing my Ev would never see a garage ...i do all my own brakes and suspension on my deisel estate. 15 years old and i still get 57 to a gallon. I would buy something more modern but it costs me nothing so whats the point. Still be running when its 20 years old ....most ev's will be done by the time they are ten 😂 ....dead green hey ...nothing more than a lie 🙄
What a night mare so happy I will never own a electric car 🚗😮👀😳😉😉😀😀😀👍👍😀
It doesn't have drive shafts...Major Upgrades... How much you want to bet this guy doesn't even know or understand Ohms law? Or kirchoff? Or even how to use a multi meter? Products 30 years old work perfectly fine with their firmware (software) Why in hell do you need to constantly update and depend on software updates for a single purpose product to do its designed job? You understand that tiny little charger on the wall is literally just a box and may contain a relay or contacter?? All the smart is in the car. Just a glorified power point. And defibrillators are in any super market. ARHHHH
News today, the number of EV mechanics in training has fallen dramatically.
People are realising that these vehicles are not the future.
Don’t be bullied into buying one.
A new one will lose 50% of its value in the first year.
The defibrillator and the insulated hook tells me NEVER to have one.
True, you will go per pedes. We will go by electrons. We - in my company - drive EVs since 2019 many hunreds of thousands of kilometers. You are just full of ANGST. I pity you.
Do you think that there might be a few fire extinguishers in the other part of the service centre? Horses for courses.
@@colinpearce3249 You can not stop a battery fire with fire extinguishers. Not with a freon bath as IT systems use it. Not with Water or sprinklers. Not with foam. If its the start of a fire you may be able to quench and cool it with much distilled water.
If you have a fire protection blanket from your fire department laying around you can protect the rest of your equipment and building. But if its a full blown battery fire you can only leave the premises and let it burn out.
A shit ton of earth, mud, sand or concrete helps but destroys everything else. So really: Just let it burn baby, burn.
The amount of comments from knuckle scraping neanderthals is hilarious. It's all fire, danger, rip off, I'll stick to my diesel/petrol etc etc. We would all be chipping rocks with stones if we had your way.
Some just don't like change.
A golf cart uses a regular car battery. Why are the EV's using massive batteries??
My riding lawnmower has a 700 cc engine, why do delivery trucks have such massive engines?🤔
A golf cart does what 8mph max & about 5miles.if you want to do 100 miles & 100mph guess what you need a bit more kick that 12volts (oh and btw golf carts have two 12 volt batteries so it's 24 volt
What a stupid question!
WHAT you could be electrocuted fixing an EV car.
This guy just doesnt look comfortable answering questions
What I took away from this video is that you’ll get reemed.
Try getting that Tesla fixed if it gets in an accident. Takes forever.
If it written off
I smell greed, grift and restrictive practices. EV’s have so many things less yet the service frequency is the same and the charges are actually greater. These chisellers then invent non-existent problems, restrict software updates to dealer only and charge you through the nose to do less with the same spanner monkeys.
Nice price for tyre's god help all,the holes in,the roads with the weight and all the chargers got to be fitted and roads repaired god help we give people a choice people there,own choice stop telling them what to buy in future its there money petrol diesel or ev see what people would have their own choice
