Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ford recommended maintenance schedule?
We recommend bringing your vehicle to a Ford EV-certified dealership for basic maintenance every 10,000 miles. At 40,000 miles and every 20,000 miles afterward, a cabin filter change should be added to your routine. At 200,000 miles, the coolant should also be changed. For more details, download the maintenance schedule PDF for your model above, check your Owner’s Manual, or contact your Ford Dealer.
What maintenance does an electric car need?
All-electric vehicles require less scheduled maintenance than comparable traditional (gas/diesel) vehicles, but regular service can help improve reliability, durability, and resale value.
For full details on your specific model, refer to your Owner’s Manual or contact your Ford Dealer.

Do electric vehicles need oil changes?
Because there are fewer moving parts in an all-electric vehicle, some services you may be used to, such as engine oil changes, will not be required. For your vehicle’s full maintenance schedule, refer to your Owner’s Manual or contact your Ford Dealer.
Do electric cars need coolant?
Yes. The coolant should be changed at 200,000 miles.
How long do EV tires last?
EV tires typically last around 30,000 to 40,000 miles. This can vary based on vehicle type, driving behavior, and maintenance habits. To help prolong the lifespan of your tires, make sure you’re getting regular tire rotations. You could also consider purchasing winter tires and swapping sets seasonally. This can potentially improve longevity because each set will be specifically suited for the road conditions.
How often should you service an electric car?
Routine maintenance should be performed every 10,000 miles. Additional services like cabin filter or coolant change are performed much less frequently and can be added to routine service appointments when necessary. For your vehicle’s full maintenance schedule, refer to your Owner’s Manual or contact your Ford Dealer.
