Do Electric Cars Need Oil Changes?
A Kia Niro EV runs on a battery and electric motor. There are no engine pistons, valves, or other moving parts that require lubrication or motor oil, so it won’t have regular oil changes. However, EVs are generally heavier than gasoline-only counterparts, so you may need to keep an eye on the tires more often.
Another thing is that the brakes on EVs tend to last longer due to regenerative braking technology. An EV automatically slows down as soon as you ease up on the accelerator.
