A white Mazda PHEV towing

With a Mazda PHEV, or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, you’ll be able to reduce your environmental impact and save on fuel with every drive. If you’re nervous about making the switch, Sentry West Mazda is here to help with tips for how to care for your PHEV with ease.

Schedule Regular Service

Fully electric vehicles don’t have the same service needs as gasoline powered cars. With hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, however, you’ll still have to schedule routine service for the internal combustion engine parts and systems, such as oil changes and fluid fill-ups. The electric motor does reduce some of the pressure and wear on these parts, which means you’ll likely have longer intervals between appointments.

Protect PHEV Parts

There are a few PHEV-specific parts you’ll need to pay extra attention to, though – in particular, the battery. This part is larger in a PHEV than in a gasoline powered vehicle or hybrid vehicle, which is what allows for all-electric driving, so it’s essential to keep it in good condition. You also want to get the brakes checked regularly, as the regenerative braking systems in PHEVs are more complex than traditional braking systems.

Keep Your PHEV Cool

One of the most important steps you can take to protect your PHEV is to park in the shade. Extremely hot temperatures can cause batteries to swell, which affects vehicle longevity, efficiency, and charging capability. Take measures to keep your Mazda plug-in hybrid vehicle cool and it will continue to run smoothly for a long time to come.
