Hey guys, need your advice on something real quick. I’ve been really interested in EVs lately, but I’m still on the fence about making the switch. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the cost vs. value of EVs vs gas cars. Can anyone share some real-world advice?

How bad is charging really? And do the lower maintenance costs actually make up for battery replacements down the road?

Would especially love to hear from those who’ve owned both – what made you choose electric (or stick with gas)? Appreciate any tips from you pros!

      ZF Aftermarket announced new additions to its oil change kit range. These additions cover combustion engine, electric and hybrid applications.
      The company said it offers transmission oil in model specific kits that contain the precisely measured amount of oil and the necessary spare parts for the oil change. Workshops that already stock the appropriate oil can also purchase the kits in a version without oil, containing only the required spare parts. In addition, the company provides repair manuals and training courses designed to help independent workshops build transmission expertise.
      The range of oil change kits not only covers ZF’s own transmissions, such as the widely used 8HP, but increasingly those of other manufacturers. The ZF Aftermarket portfolio also includes kits for OEM applications involving automatic, dual clutch and CVT transmissions.
      Hybrids and battery electric vehicles
      It is not only conventional vehicle transmissions that benefit from an oil change. The drives in hybrid vehicles also require regular maintenance. These transmissions, with their integrated electric motors, place unique demands on transmission oil.
      link hidden, please login to view said it provides suitable products for these applications, including ZF Lifeguard Hybrid Fluids. An oil change in the drive system is also recommended for battery electric vehicles. Although these vehicles do not have conventional gearsets, they use a reduction gear in the electric axle. The components in this unit are subjected to high loads due to the rapid torque build up of the electric motor. ZF supplies oil change kits for the electric axles of various electric vehicles. More details and specifications on available kits can be found at aftermarket.zf.com/catalog.
      Regular oil changes for maximum uptime

      link hidden, please login to viewsaid transmission oil should be changed, particularly under operating conditions involving high temperatures and loads or when a vehicle’s service history is unknown. In all cases, the manufacturer’s specifications should be followed. Regular oil changes can help extend the service life of the transmission, one of the most complex and costly components in a vehicle. Avoiding premature wear can reduce the risk of expensive repairs and extended downtime. The approach aligns with ZF’s “Maintain, Repair, Replace” strategy, a service concept focused on extending component life and supporting maximum uptime for customers.
