Blog #106: Volvo Electric & Hybrid Care: Unique Maintenance Needs You Shouldn't Ignore

If you drive a
Volvo Recharge EV or plug-in hybrid in Bloomington, you already know the thrill of smooth, silent performance. But at
Autopia Bloomington, we often see drivers overlook one critical thing:
specialized maintenance.
Electric and hybrid Volvos might skip oil changes, but they still need expert care to stay safe, efficient, and long-lasting.
Key Maintenance Needs for Volvo EVs and Hybrids
1. Battery Cooling & Diagnostics
Your high-voltage battery needs proper temperature control. We check coolant, software, and charging behavior to catch issues early.
2. Brake System Health
Regenerative braking reduces wear—but unused parts can rust or malfunction. We inspect, clean, and ensure your brakes work as intended.
3. Charging System Checks
Dirty or corroded charging ports can cause power loss or slow charging. We clean, test, and verify connection strength.
4. Software Updates & Sensor Calibration
Volvo relies heavily on software for performance and safety. We confirm all updates are properly installed and systems are synced.
