Mission
Why Plug-in Garages
Plug-in Garages is a program that aims to inform and educate on the maintenance of electric vehicles. The objective is to facilitate the link between the owner of an EV and certified mechanical workshops trained to work on this type of vehicle.
Tips for maintaining your EV
Everyone knows the song, the only way to keep a vehicle in good condition and retain good resale value is through proper maintenance. Contrary to popular belief, it is no different for an electric car.
Although the electric car does not have a gasoline engine and components such as spark plugs, belt, exhaust, it also needs maintenance. Just like the gasoline-powered car, these cars have shocks, brakes, tires and much more.
In addition, due to the generally heavier weight caused by the batteries, these parts are sometimes more stressed and therefore require more regular maintenance.
On this website, you will discover the most common maintenance on electric and hybrid vehicles and you will be able to find a certified mechanic shop with the equipment and training to repair your vehicle in a safe and professional manner.
