EV safety and maintenance focus on smart battery care (avoiding extremes, charging between 20-80%), regular tire checks, maintaining cooling systems, and utilizing software updates, but require less fluid changes than gas cars due to fewer moving parts, with safety emphasizing proper charging equipment, specialized PPE for technicians, and understanding high-voltage systems. Key areas include tyre health, brakes, 12V battery, software, cooling loops, and proper charging habits to extend battery life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
