Minor Evaluations

One of the many benefits to driving an electric vehicle is that they generally require less maintenance than a gas-powered model. While you’ll have fewer parts that need replacing, you should still keep a close eye on the condition of your vehicle, specifically when it comes to the tires.

The tires of your Bolt are the part that will require the most frequent maintenance, so it’s a good idea for you to stay up to date on their condition. Each month you should try to check their pressure, since this can fluctuate when the weather changes.

You’ll also just want to see how worn down they are, mainly by checking the tread depth. You can do a quick visual inspection to make sure everything looks good, but to be completely sure they’re up to par, you can use the Penny Method and measure how deep the treads are.

Since tire treads typically need to be replaced once they reach a depth of around 2/32 of an inch, you can place a penny with Lincoln’s head facing downward between the treats to measure this. If his head is at all covered by the treads, they are still deep enough. But if his head is uncovered, you’ll want to get your tires replaced soon.

Regular Maintenance Needs

As we mentioned, the main piece of reoccurring maintenance you’ll have with the Chevy Bolt is to take care of the tires. Every 7,500 miles, you should bring your vehicle to a service center to have the tires professionally inspected and rotated.

Rotating the tires will ensure that each tire gets an even amount of wear, meaning that you won’t need to get them replaced as soon.

When you come in for this visit, the technicians will also evaluate other aspects of your vehicle, such as:

• Coolant level
• Windshield washer fluid level
• Brake System
• Steering, suspension, and chassis

This is also the time to check for any fluid leaks. Overall, they’ll simply ensure that everything is functioning as it should be and has a normal amount of wear. If anything is damaged, they’ll replace it with genuine Chevy parts.

Maintaining a Long Life

As you get more miles on the odometer, you’ll need to revisit your service center for different maintenance items. For instance, every 15,000 miles, you should replace the front and rear wiper blades.

To ensure you have high-quality air inside your vehicle, you should replace the passenger compartment air filter every two years or 22,500 miles. At 75,000 miles, it will be time to replace the hood and body lift support gas struts.

Once 150,000 miles comes around, you’ll want to drain and replace the coolant circuits.
