Follow along to learn more and schedule your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram EV service today!
EV Service: A Streamlined Experience
One of the biggest perks of electric vehicles is their simplified service routine. When it comes to Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram EV service, the days of frequent oil changes and filter replacements are gone. EVs have fewer moving parts, resulting in less wear and tear on the engine and drivetrain. However, this doesn't mean your EV is maintenance-free. Beaver County DCJR's certified technicians are specially trained to handle the unique needs of your electric or plug-in hybrid Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram.
Our service department focuses on crucial areas to ensure peak performance and longevity while performing Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram EV service:
Battery Health Checks: Our diagnostic tools analyze battery health during your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram EV service, ensuring optimal range and efficiency.
Thermal Management System Service: Like any engine, your EV's battery requires a cool environment. We inspect the cooling system for proper function, keeping your battery operating at its best.
Regenerative Braking System Inspection: This unique system utilizes electric motors to slow down the vehicle, capturing energy for battery regeneration. We ensure this system functions flawlessly for optimal efficiency and safety.
Regular Maintenance Checks: Even EVs require routine checks for tire pressure, wiper blades, and fluid levels (like brake fluid and coolant). Our technicians handle these essential checks to keep your vehicle safe and reliable.
EV Car Maintenance: Keeping You Charged Up
Beyond the specialized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram EV service needs, you can play a vital role in maintaining your EV for optimal performance and maximizing its lifespan. Here's how:
Home Charging Habits: Level 2 home chargers offer a convenient and faster charging experience compared to standard outlets. Developing proper charging habits also contributes to long-term battery health. Aim for a charging routine that keeps your battery between 20% and 80% for daily use and adjusts accordingly for longer trips.
Regenerative Braking Usage: This system utilizes the electric motor to slow down the vehicle, capturing the kinetic energy and converting it back into electricity to replenish your battery. Make a conscious effort to utilize regenerative braking whenever possible, especially in stop-and-go traffic situations. Not only does it contribute to increased efficiency and range, but it also reduces wear on your traditional friction brakes, extending their lifespan and saving you money on future replacements.
Temperature Control: Extreme hot and cold temperatures can impact your EV's battery performance and range. During scorching summers, try to park your car in a shaded area whenever possible. Pre-conditioning the cabin before driving on hot days can also help minimize the initial drain on the battery as it cools down the interior. In colder climates, pre-heating the cabin while plugged in can achieve a similar result.
Tire Care: Just like gas-powered vehicles, proper tire inflation and rotation are crucial for maximizing range and efficiency in your electric vehicle. Regularly checking tire pressure and maintaining proper inflation levels can significantly improve efficiency and extend the lifespan of your tires.
Power Up Your Peace of Mind
Whether you're driving a sleek Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, a powerful Jeep Wrangler 4xe, or a Ram 1500 REV truck, our service department is equipped with the expertise and technology to keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. We'll guide you through the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram EV service process and ensure you get the most out of your electric or hybrid adventure.
