vehicle is used or new, an electric motor is required in an electric car. The two main categories of motors used are brushed and brushless motors. In a brushed motor electric car, ensure that the brushes have been checked and cleaned regularly and replaced when required. Brushes are the brushed motor’s lifeline, and they do wear out with use. Otherwise, only poor performance can be expected and the motor will be certain to fail. It is relatively inexpensive to replace the motor’s brushes; it is a good practice to check the brushes half yearly or according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Heating

Check the car’s heating and ensure its workability. While heating in a conventional car uses the engine’s wasted heat, the electric car has its heating system separate from its engine. Home conversion units tend to lack performance because of poor heating. Some use fuel heaters, which run using diesel, generating a lot of heat quickly. They are effective at producing heat, but are also costly and hard to repair when broken.
