Electric Vehicle Maintenance Checklist: Keep Your Nissan Leaf or Ariya Running Smoothly

Staying on top of electric vehicle maintenance routines is the key to maximizing performance, safety, and long-term value. At Alpine Nissan in Denver, CO, we know that Nissan EVs like the Leaf and Ariya are built for longevity and reliability. But just like any vehicle, they need regular attention. Whether you’re new to EVs or a long-time electric driver, this detailed Nissan maintenance checklist will help you stay current with everything your EV needs.

Nissan Electric Vehicle Routine Maintenance Checklist

Electric vehicles may not need oil changes, but they still require ongoing care. Here’s our in-depth Nissan periodic maintenance service checklist tailored to EV models.

Every 5,000 to 7,500 Miles

Uneven tire wear can reduce driving range and efficiency. Rotate tires to promote even tread wear and extend their life.

Regenerative braking reduces wear, but physical components still require inspection for pad thickness and rotor condition.

A clean cabin air filter is vital for in-cabin air quality and HVAC performance. Replace every 12 months or sooner in dusty environments.

Check for streaking or chatter. Replace if worn—Colorado winters are tough on wipers.

Every 12 Months

Using Nissan’s advanced diagnostic tools, we assess battery condition and performance. Our factory-trained techs at Alpine Nissan ensure your Nissan Leaf or Ariya operates at peak range.

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time. Check annually and replace as needed to prevent corrosion in the brake system.

EVs like the Nissan Ariya use liquid cooling systems for battery thermal management. Check coolant levels and look for leaks or contamination.

Every 24 to 36 Months

If you haven’t changed your cabin air filter, now’s the time. It impacts everything from HVAC airflow to allergen reduction.

Inspect for wear and tear. Colorado’s rough roads and seasonal changes can take a toll.

Let our certified EV technicians at Alpine Nissan test and inspect the high-voltage cables and connectors for safety and performance integrity.
