Almost all drivers know the importance of routine servicing for their cars' engines - engine oil change every 10,000km, major servicing including spark plugs, timing belts and other components every 100,000km and so on.

Ask the same drivers on their thoughts on the upkeep of a hybrid car and they'll probably tell you it's the same. In fact, before we stepped into Hybrid Automotive SG, I was one of those that assumed the hybrid system is an unserviceable, lifetime component.

Why does hybrid cars need regular maintenance?

I didn't expect hybrid systems to require much maintenance, and if you are the same as me, prepare to be schooled. With a strong interest in electrical components and hybrid systems, it didn't take long for Hybrid Automotive SG to figure out one of the biggest proponent of wear in hybrid cars - heat.

What you might not realise, is that there are dedicated cooling systems for the batteries in hybrid and electric cars. Should you have meddled with batteries, you would know they don't really fancy operating in high temperature conditions.

Depending on the brand of your hybrid car, the cooling system can involve a mix of liquid and air cooling, or just the latter.

Like your laptop and desktop, dust and dirt can build up in the ventilation system during normal operation, clogging it up and reducing its efficiency.

A poorly functioning ventilation system can lead to the early demise of your hybrid car's batteries, resulting in the need for a costly repair.
