Electric Porsche Maintenance Schedule & Cost

Like gas-powered vehicles, electric vehicles require regular maintenance to ensure they run efficiently and to prevent small issues from escalating into major repairs. Fortunately, maintaining an electric vehicle is generally more affordable and simpler due to the electric motor, which has fewer moving parts than a traditional gas-powered engine. This reduces the likelihood of mechanical problems. Maintenance costs for Porsche electric vehicles can vary by model. Plus, if your model has a thermal management or cooling system to enhance battery performance, it will also require servicing. Always consult your owner’s manual for specific maintenance guidelines for your vehicle. In general, you can follow this maintenance schedule for your Porsche electric vehicle:

Every 10,000 miles:

• Check and rotate tires.
• Check and align the wheels.

Every 20,000 miles:

• Replace the cabin air filter.
• Replace the pollen filter.
• Replace tire sealant.
• Replace the wiper blades and windshield wiper fluid.
• Check and replace brake fluid.

Every 40,000 miles (In addition to 20,000-mile maintenance):

• Inspect the brake system.
• Inspect underbody panels.
• Inspect steering gear, tire rod joints, and axle joints.
• Replace the wiper blades and windshield wiper fluid.

Every 100,000 miles (In addition to 40,000-mile maintenance):
