Visits Peruzzi Mazda for EV Service in PA

Electric vehicles (EVs) are significantly different in design and function than traditional gas-powered cars. So, what exactly does Mazda service for your EV involve? Our local Mazda dealers have the answers.

Battery Charging

Let’s start with a vital service that you can do yourself: charging the battery. There are three charging levels to be aware of, and one or more might be relevant to your needs.

• Level 1: This is charging via a 120-volt standard household outlet. It’s the cheapest way to charge, but also the slowest. Also, while Level 1 charging is suitable for plugin hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), it isn’t a fit for pure electric vehicles.

• Level 2: If you buy an EV at Peruzzi Mazda and want the best at-home charging currently available, we can help you install a Level 2 charger in your garage or carport. Level 2 chargers work with a 240-volt outlet – the same outlet size that powers your larger household appliances.

• Level 3: Also known as fast chargers, Level 3 chargers are only accessible on highways. They’re perfect for drivers taking long road trips, as these chargers can fully recharge in an EV battery in under an hour.

Regardless of which charging level you use, our service and Mazda parts experts recommend maintaining a battery charge of 20 percent to 80 percent most days. We also suggest that you avoid driving in extremely hot temperatures, since excessive heat will cause an EV battery to expire faster.

Standard EV Services

While battery charging is something you can do yourself for your new Mazda EV, some services are best left to us. These include:
