Abstract
This study explores the evolving practices of service and maintenance in electric and hybrid vehicles. As electrification transforms the automotive industry, traditional maintenance paradigms are replaced by advanced diagnostics, high-voltage safety protocols, battery management, and software-driven interventions. The research highlights the importance of predictive maintenance, digital twin technology, and condition-based servicing for extending vehicle lifespan and ensuring safety. Emerging challenges in charging infrastructure, hybrid powertrain integration, and workforce training are also examined. The study emphasizes that the successful adoption of these technologies is essential for improving vehicle reliability, reducing operational costs, and supporting sustainable transportation.
