Top 5 checklist for electric car maintenance to keep your EV up and running without issues. More in detail from Brian Cooley:

Our recent video lambasting car engine head gaskets got a few of you electric car haters to remind me that EVs aren’t exactly maintenance-free. Fair enough, so I’ll list our checklist.

5. Tire Rotation
4. Brake Fluid Service
3. Coolant Service
2. Brake Service
1. Battery Care

    Hey! How dare you accuse me of not rotating my tires good sir!

    Brian you need to have your own channel. Always enjoys your videos.

    Brakes on an EV or hybrid aren't maintenance free, especially in colder, wetter places where you get surface rust forming and have to make sure you clean them by braking often. I had a set need replacing after 18months from new on a Prius as they were rusted out from not being used enough. So at least once a day I clean the brake discs/rotors by shifting to neutral and just using the hydraulic brakes to clean them off.

    EV maintenance V Petrol,,,Same….Same …..Same….4 things THAT EVERY CAR has and the Battery.
    Oh and you forgot the Wiper fluid and Blinker lens fluid without them you can't see were you are going and other cars can't see when you are turning.
    Please check, the Leaf has air cooled battery?

    You did not mention the cost of replacing the Tesla main battery like you did on head gaskets.

    2:18 You sure Cooley? Maybe the motor coolant fluids or the water heat exchanger – yeah, but the LEAF doesn't have battery coolant, as much as an iPad has such a lack of feature

    2:58 On the whole, from Prius drivers to Volt and BMW i3s drivers, a set of brake pads can last from 25,000 miles – upwards of 50,000 miles. Unless you're the type of guy or gal that likes to stab their brakes everytime to get a rear-end claim, a regen-able car should always get more than the 15,000 mile life span for pads.

    The biggest downside to long lasting pads is that they can coarsen up, sometimes get stones and it's the disks that usually suffer from rusting, scarring, unsmooth stopping and uneven wear and drag from ceased brake pins (drove for 3 months with that…).
