Hybrid and electric vehicles need similar maintenance to gas-powered cars but there are some differences. Regular, timely maintenance is important to the upkeep and longevity of any vehicle.

 Many hybrid and electric vehicles use a regenerative braking system. Regenerative braking systems typically use an electric motor as well as traditional friction brakes. While regenerative brakes can last longer than traditional brakes because the electric motor is doing a lot of the work, brakes should be inspected regularly on both hybrid and electric vehicles.

Routine tire maintenance is important on hybrid and electric vehicles. Performing tire rotations and balances at regular intervals helps prolong the life of your tires and can save you money in the long run.

Coolant systems in both hybrid and electric vehicles require regular checks to maintain optimal battery temperature. Coolant fluid exchanges should be performed at regular intervals as part of the maintenance of the vehicle's coolant system.

The batteries in hybrid vehicles should be periodically inspected and may even need to be replaced. If your fuel efficiency decreases, or your vehicle feels sluggish, you may need your hybrid battery replaced.
