While Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrids are acknowledged for having fewer maintenance needs in comparison to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, their mechanical components still require regular check-ups, maintenance and repairs to maintain their performance and extend their operational lifespan. Here are five mechanical systems in electric vehicles that require attention:

1. Brakes: Despite EVs and Hybrid's featuring regenerative braking that aids in recharging the battery, they still possess conventional friction braking systems that deteriorate over time. Routine examinations of brake pads, rotors, and fluids are vital for ensuring both safety and functionality.

2. Suspension and Steering: These systems are critical for absorbing impacts and enabling vehicle control. Components like shock absorbers, springs, ball joints, and tie rods can wear down or get damaged. Periodic inspections can catch issues early, averting more serious complications later.

3. Thermal Management System: Designed to regulate the temperature of the battery, electric motors, and electronics, this system comprises radiators, coolant, pumps, and hoses that need regular checks to function correctly, avoiding overheating and safeguarding component longevity.

4. Tyres: Essential for safety and vehicle dynamics, routine tyre checks for pressure, tread, and general condition are mandatory. The additional weight of EVs due to battery packs often leads to faster tyre wear, underscoring the importance of these checks.

5. Propulsion System: This encompasses the electric motors and any gearing, requiring checks for unusual sounds, secure connections, and updated motor control software. While typically low in maintenance needs, components like bearings might need checking or replacement, and gearboxes, if present, could need oil changes, though less frequently than in ICE vehicles.
