Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need to have my hybrid or electric vehicle battery changed?
For most hybrid or electric vehicles, the average lifespan of a powertrain battery pack is as long as 15 years or approximately 150,000 miles. However, utilization and other environmental factors may impact longevity, with replacements needed sooner or later depending on your driving habits.
Is the maintenance schedule different for a hybrid or electric vehicle?
For hybrid vehicles, the service intervals are similar to traditional vehicles as they still have a combustion engine that requires oil changes, coolant flushes, and spark plug replacements. Electric vehicle powertrains differ as they have fewer serviceable parts, requiring general upkeep for common items such as brakes, tires, and suspension components.
How does an oil change in a hybrid or EV work?
For hybrid vehicles, oil changes are conducted similarly to traditional combustion vehicles, while electric vehicles do not need an oil change. Hybrid vehicle oil change intervals vary by model but are most commonly performed every 10,000 miles or 12 months.
What else do I need to know about servicing my hybrid or electric vehicle?
Porsche Downtown LA recommends viewing the physical or digital Owner's Manual for your specific model, as maintenance intervals may vary depending on if you tow trailers, commute in traffic, or take your vehicle to the track.
