MAINTENANCE

Electric vehicles (EVs) require significantly less fluid maintenance than conventional cars but still need regular checks for essential systems, including brake fluid, coolant for the battery/motor, and windshield washer fluid.

Key maintenance includes replacing brake fluid every 2–5 years, changing battery coolant every 5–15 years, and checking reduction gear (transmission) oil, often around 80,000–100,000 miles.

Key Fluids to Maintain

• Brake Fluid: Crucial for safety and longevity. While regenerative braking reduces wear, brake fluid still absorbs moisture over time, needing replacement every 2 to 5 years.

• Battery/Drive Unit Coolant: EVs use liquid cooling to manage battery and motor temperatures. These systems typically need servicing or flushing every 5–15 years, depending on the manufacturer (some are designed to be "lifetime" fluids).

• Reduction Gear Fluid (Gearbox Oil): While many EVs have no, or long-interval, recommendations, lubricating the electric motor's gearbox is necessary. Some manufacturers recommend changing this around 80,000 to 100,000 miles.

• Windshield Washer Fluid: The only fluid that requires regular, frequent topping up, just like a traditional car.

Maintenance Tips

• Check the Owner's Manual: Maintenance schedules differ widely between brands (e.g., Tesla vs. Hyundai vs. GM).

• Watch for Leaks: Although rare, cooling system leaks can cause serious performance issues.

• 12V Battery Check: While not a fluid, the 12-volt battery should be tested regularly, as it is crucial for starting and running the systems.

Note: EVs do not require engine oil, oil filters, or transmission flushes for traditional multi-speed transmissions.

Power Steering & Clutch fluids may be required depending on the model unit

Domestic & Imports

As of early April 2026, aluminum futures are trading around $3,450–$3,500 USD per tonne, showing significant 52-week strength. In Canada, localized scrap aluminum prices range from approximately $0.50 CAD per lb for cans to $1.25 CAD per lb for rims, while industrial stock like 6061-T6 aluminum angle is priced around $12.98 CAD per foot. 

Stainless steel prices in Canada are rising, with base prices for 304 and 316 grades increasing as of July 2026 due to market adjustments, with 304 grade rising by $0.14-0.15lb. While nickel prices have stabilized around $7lb, new tariffs are driving up industrial project costs by up to, affecting 304, 316, and 430 grades.

EV Motor Cooling Systems

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM)  and the  Externally Excited Synchronous Motor (EESM) .  The Importance of Thermal Management Effective thermal management is paramount in electric vehicle (EV) design, especially when it comes to traction motors. These motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion and are critical for the vehicle's overall performance and efficiency.  Managing their heat is essential, not only to maintain optimal functionality but also to extend the vehicle’s range and life. One practical scenario where cooling plays a critical role is during high-speed or uphill driving, where motors generate significant heat. Without effective cooling strategies like water jacket and oil spray cooling, the motors could overheat, leading to decreased efficiency or potential failures. More than a basic heat sink C/M HOLD PREFERENCE ON NON-OIL COOLING This aligns with our ability to use less parts & less maintenance improving reliability &...

Now Cooling additives so we can shrink pack & upside Power in Horses & Torque in woundings. The key to a door once disregarded. Right here  THERMOACOUSTIC Thermoacoustic refrigeration (acoustic cooling) is an eco-friendly technology that uses high-intensity sound waves within a resonator tube to move heat, creating cold without harmful refrigerants. Sound waves compress and expand gas (like helium), and a "stack" of plates absorbs heat during compression and releases it during expansion, enabling refrigeration via, for instance, a YouTube video on Thermoacoustic refrigeration.  Key Aspects of Acoustic Cooling: • Process:  A loudspeaker creates a sound wave, and a resonant tube creates standing waves. A "stack" (porous material) absorbs heat when gas expands, creating a temperature gradient. • Advantages:  T...
