RZ servicing

[larryadler]

A question please if I may.

A friend of mine has owned both a Tesla 3 dual motor for two years, and currently owns a Kia Niro EV.

He has never had either vehicle serviced as the dealers say servicing is not necessary, obviously reducing running costs.

I am aware, as an RX owner, that Lexus/ Toyota offer a 10 year warranty, subject to service at main dealer. 
 

Equally, Tesla offered  4 year warranty, and Kia 7 years, but it appears not conditional on any service schedule. 
 

So, what is the requirement for RZ servicing, and any idea of cost implications at Lexus,.

Service is every year or 10k. I bought a service plan - about £ 26 / month. I think it sensible to get everything checked every year plus as you say, from 3 years the annual service keeps the warranty. The service plan is for 2 A services and a B service. After having a Range Rover Velar from new at £ 600+ an annual service the Lexus is a bargain !

A Kia Niro EV should be serviced every 2 years or 20k miles (whatever comes first) - https://www.kia.com/uk/new-cars/niro/specification/. Kia are incredibly strict on their 7 year warranty, if you can’t prove the correct services with correct parts = no warranty. 

As noted, an RZ is every 1 year or 10k miles.

I saved the princely sum of £ 30 by taking out a service plant. Still it does protect against inflation. I pay £ 26 / month for 2 A Services and a B. I end up paying in May 2025 but get a service in Mat 2026 and can transfer it to another (very very doubtful) or stop paying and get a repayment if I do get a Porsche Mecan !
