When purchasing an all-electric vehicle such as the Genesis GV60, you’ll want to learn about its routine maintenance to maintain optimal performance. Proper maintenance is vital for Genesis electric vehicles (EVs) to ensure optimal performance, battery longevity, and safety. Regular inspections of the battery system, tire health, software updates, and cooling systems are essential to maintain efficiency and reliability, protecting your investment while supporting sustainable driving. Our team at Genesis of Dublin invites you to explore these common Genesis GV60 maintenance FAQs before you schedule a test-drive.
Genesis GV60 Maintenance Schedule and Care Plan
The Genesis GV60, a luxury EV, requires specific care to ensure optimal performance, longevity, and efficiency. Here’s an overview of its recommended maintenance schedule and care plan:
- Battery system maintenance: Check the charging ports and cables for wear or damage monthly. Inspect the high-voltage battery cooling system and electrical components annually. Perform software updates for battery management and vehicle systems as needed.
- Tires and brakes: Rotate tires every 6,000 to 7,500 miles. Inspect tire condition, pressure, and alignment at least once per year. Regenerative braking reduces wear, but brake systems should still be checked.
- Fluids and filters: Check coolant levels for the battery and electric motor annually. To maintain air quality, also replace the cabin air filter.
- Software updates: Ensure you enable the latest over-the-air updates for enhanced vehicle performance, security, and features.
- Other key inspections: Inspect the suspension, steering, and underbody components each year. Every three years, check seals and gaskets for potential leaks or wear.
Genesis recommends following this schedule and consulting the vehicle manual or a certified Genesis service center for specific guidance tailored to your GV60.
Genesis Care Plan
The Genesis Care Plan offers exceptional value, including complimentary scheduled maintenance for the first five years or 50,000 miles. This includes regular checks, such as tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid replacements, ensuring your vehicle stays in optimal condition. The plan covers other benefits such as 24/7 roadside assistance, concierge service, and even map updates for navigation.
Unique Maintenance Needs of EVs
EVs, such as the Genesis GV60, require specific maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Practicing the best charging habits is essential to maximize your battery’s life span. Avoid fast charging, as it can degrade the battery over time. Instead, rely on Level 2 charging for your routine needs and keep the battery charged between 20% and 80% to help preserve battery health and significantly extend its life span. Here’s a breakdown of the recommended service intervals for various systems and components beyond your battery.
Regular Inspections and Maintenance
The following systems and components should be checked at regular intervals:
- Cooling systems: Inspect every 15,000 miles or 12 months.
- Climate control air filter: Replace every 15,000 miles or 12 months.
- 12-volt auxiliary battery: Inspect every 15,000 miles or 12 months.
- Brake lines, hoses, and connectors: Inspect every 15,000 miles or 12 months.
- Disc brakes and pads: Inspect every 15,000 miles or 12 months.
- Steering gear rack, linkage, and boots: Inspect every 15,000 miles or 12 months.
- Driveshafts and boots: Inspect every 15,000 miles or 12 months.
- Air conditioning: Inspect every 15,000 miles or 12 months.
Less Frequent Inspections
These components and systems require less frequent checks but are just as important:
- Reduction gear fluid: Inspect every 35,000 miles or 28 months.
- Brake pedal: Inspect every 15,000 miles or 12 months.
- Brake fluid: Inspect every 15,000 miles or 12 months and replace every 60,000 miles or 48 months.

Genesis GV60 Warranty Coverage and Support Services
The Genesis GV60 offers impressive warranty coverage, providing peace of mind for owners. The powertrain warranty extends for 10 years or 100,000 miles, protecting against engine, transmission, and drive axle repairs due to factory defects. If you sell or trade your vehicle, the first five years or 60,000 miles of this coverage is transferable to the new owner. The bumper-to-bumper warranty offers extensive coverage for various components, including electronics and air conditioning systems. The corrosion warranty ensures up to seven years or unlimited miles of anti-perforation protection, setting Genesis apart in the industry.
Genesis offers complimentary collection and delivery services for maintenance and service, providing customers with a convenient and hassle-free experience. While Genesis recommends using authorized service centers for the best care, some non-Genesis service centers may be able to perform certain maintenance tasks. Using non-authorized centers could void certain warranty coverages, particularly for specialized high-voltage battery or powertrain repair services.
Common Genesis GV60 Maintenance FAQ
Here’s a look at some of the most frequently asked questions we get about maintaining the Genesis GV60:
What Should I Do During a Breakdown or Flat Tire?
If you experience a breakdown or flat tire in your Genesis GV60, your priority should be safely pulling over to the side of the road and turning on your hazard lights. Once you’re in a safe spot, assess the situation. If you’re comfortable and able, you can change the tire using the spare provided. If you’re unsure or prefer not to handle it, immediately contact Genesis Roadside Assistance for prompt help and support.
What Is Covered for Replacement Parts, Accessories, and Repairs with Genesis Care?
With Genesis Care, replacement parts and accessories are covered for one year or 12,000 miles if they’re genuine Genesis parts and are found to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use. Replacement accessories are covered for three years or 36,000 miles, including both parts and labor costs, when installed by an authorized Genesis dealer. This plan typically does not cover wear-and-tear items such as brake pads, wiper blades, and lightbulbs.
What Are the Benefits of EV Ownership, From Fuel Savings to Environmental Impact?
The primary benefits of owning an EV include significant fuel savings, as electricity is generally cheaper than gasoline. EVs also have a significantly reduced environmental impact due to zero tailpipe emissions. They typically require less maintenance than gas-powered cars, offer potential access to HOV lanes, and may qualify for government incentives, such as tax credits, depending on the owner’s location.
