The Chevy Bolt's service schedule starts with a coolant flush at 150,000 miles. I've been driving two Nissan Leafs for 4 years (a 2012 then a 2018) that have not seen a dealer since I purchased them. The brake pads are good for the life of the car; you have to purposely slam the brakes every few months just to avoid them sticking and rusting from disuse. Well-made EVs generate virtually no revenue for dealer service centers.
- ilovecars2 9y agoI’d be a little cautious about going 150,000 miles without changing brake fluid. It does break down due over time and of course due to heating and cooling which can lead to sudden brake failure. Brake lines are also made of rubber in all but performance cars and can deteriorate/degrade independent of the fluid. In an EV it’s possible this could happen when needed most as the brakes are used much less frequent than an ICE car.
