Compare Mitsubishi electric car service quotes from specialist garages

Mitsubishi's automotive division was founded in 1970, but it produced its first vehicle way before that. In 1917, the shipbuilding division created the Model A, intended as a luxury car for officials. It was the first series-production vehicle in Japan and paved the way for the Debonair, a four-door executive sedan introduced in 1964.

A breakthrough happened for the company in 1976 when it developed Silent Shaft engine technology to reduce vibrations. This technology was so successful that it was licensed to other brands, including Porsche and Fiat.

Since then, Mitsubishi has continued to push boundaries. Its 2011 Outlander ad campaign beat no less than five world records, including the greatest distance driven by a vehicle in reverse on snow in 30 seconds.

Finding a quality car service for your electric car can be tricky since you may struggle to find an EV car mechanic, and not all garages offer EV servicing. The same applies to electric car repairs.

There are some key differences between EV servicing vs petrol engine servicing. Electric vehicles need servicing less frequently because they have fewer moving parts than traditional internal combustion cars. However, regular electric car maintenance is essential, and you should always stick to the intervals laid out in your servicing schedule.

Regarding EV vs hybrid car servicing, while electric cars are cheaper to service, hybrids are often more expensive than ICE cars because they have both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor that needs maintenance. An electric car service typically focuses on batteries, electric motor(s), oil, coolant, brakes, tyres and suspension.
