With the increasing popularity of electric cars, the number of drivers who want to learn more about the maintenance and operation of these vehicles is also increasing. Compared to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, electric vehicles have far fewer moving parts and generally lower maintenance requirements, but still require certain types of lubrication and cooling fluids. Here are all the details…

We mostly see the use of oil in electric vehicles in the areas of battery thermal management and cooling of other electronic components. Because battery packs need to be kept within the optimal temperature range to ensure efficient and safe operation of the vehicle.
Castrol is developing innovative solutions such as immersion coolants to meet this need. This cooling technology prevents battery cells from overheating, increasing performance and extending battery life.
Additionally, other components such as electric motors and gearboxes may also require special lubricating fluids to increase efficiency and reduce wear. Therefore, electric vehicles are not completely oil-free systems.
On the contrary, they are carefully designed to provide optimal operating conditions using high-performance oils and coolants. As we have mentioned, Castrol’s product range plays an important role in the maintenance and performance of electric vehicles.
