If you drive in Beechboro or nearby, you might be thinking about whether an electric vehicle (EV), a hybrid, or a conventional petrol/diesel (internal combustion engine, ICE) car will cost less over time. It’s not just about fuel or electricity prices; it’s about maintenance, efficiency, and how you use the vehicle. Here’s what to consider and how the numbers stack up.

EV vs ICE vs Hybrid — Which is cheaper?

EVs use electricity; ICE vehicles burn petrol or diesel; hybrids use both. One major difference is in how efficiently each converts energy into forward motion. According to the Australian Energy Council, even with our electricity grid having fossil fuel generation, EVs produce around 40% less greenhouse gas emissions than equivalent ICE vehicles when you consider the full energy supply chain.

Also, EVs tend to lose less energy between input and motion. ICE engines waste a lot (~70-80%) through heat, friction, exhaust. Hybrids do better than ICE by using regenerative braking and assisting the engine with electric power at low speeds

Electricity costs vs petrol/diesel costs: Charging an EV typically costs far less per kilometre than filling up with petrol or diesel. Even when paying mixed rates (home vs public charging), the cost of electricity for an EV is lower than fuel costs for ICE vehicles. NRMA’s comparisons show that EVs cost substantially less to run annually when using efficient charging and comparing equivalent driving distances.

Hybrids fall in between. They consume less petrol than ICE cars for many conditions (especially in city driving where they can run in electric mode part of the time) but still rely on fuel. So while they save compared to ICE, they don’t beat EVs on running cost if electricity is cheap or if charging is done smartly.

EVs have fewer moving parts: no engine oil changes, fewer fluids, often simpler drivetrain. That means lower scheduled maintenance, fewer mechanical breakdowns, and generally lower servicing costs over time. Hybrids add some complexity (battery systems, electric motors) so costs are higher than pure EVs, but still tend to be lower than ICEs for things like fuel system wear, exhaust, etc.

At Beechboro Mechanical, the availability of advanced diagnostic tools, scan tools, high-voltage awareness, and specialist equipment means EV or hybrid service is done properly—reducing risk of costly issues later. Their workshop services all makes/models including hybrids and diesels; having diagnostic and safety tools (high voltage safety, cooling, charger etc) matters

Yes, EVs often cost more upfront than comparable ICE or hybrid models. But government incentives, fuel savings, and lower running/maintenance costs can offset that over a number of years. There are studies in Australia showing that total cost of ownership for EVs has become closer to ICE in many cases. For example, a study found that for mid-range vehicles over 15 years, the lifetime cost difference between EV and ICE is only a few percent when including fuel/electricity savings.

Depreciation, Purchase Price & Incentives

Hybrids can offer a middle ground where the upfront cost is lower than EVs but there are still fuel savings over ICEs, especially in stop-start or urban driving.

If you drive mostly in city traffic, over shorter distances, an EV is likely to cost you least in terms of ongoing running and maintenance. Charging overnight at home (if available) makes a big difference. If you do a lot of highway driving or don’t have reliable charging, hybrid may be more practical. ICE will tend to cost more overall in fuel and servicing over time.

Also factor in local electricity costs, fuel prices, and whether your workshop can maintain EV/hybrid systems properly (battery, cooling, diagnostics). In Beechboro, Beechboro Mechanical offers full EV/hybrid servicing that honours manufacturers’ warranty, and has the tools and technicians to do the job safely and efficiently. Using a service provider without that capability may lead to higher long-term costs due to incorrect battery diagnostics or cooling issues.

Over 5-10 years, EVs usually come out cheapest to run if you have access to good charging and servicing

Hybrids offer savings over ICE, especially in stop/start driving and city use, but won’t beat EVs if electricity and components are well managed

ICE vehicles still have lower upfront cost in many cases, but higher ongoing fuel & maintenance costs

If you're weighing your next car, it’s wise to look not just at purchase price but at fuel/electricity costs, servicing, maintenance, and what your daily driving looks like. With the right service partner in Beechboro, you can maximise savings and lifespan no matter which type you choose…

When it comes to vehicle safety and driving comfort, your car’s suspension and steering systems play an essential role…

Expert Suspension and Steering Services at Beechboro Mechanical in Beechboro

 At Beechboro Mechanical, we understand that a well-maintained suspension and steering setup not only ensures a smooth, controlled ride but also directly affects the performance and longevity of your tyres and brakes. Serving the community of Beechboro, we offer expert suspension and steering services designed to keep you safe on the road and your vehicle operating at its best.

Your vehicle’s suspension system is more than just springs and shock absorbers—it’s the core component that maintains tyre contact with the road. A properly functioning suspension ensures that your tyres grip firmly, improving handling, braking, and overall safety. Meanwhile, the steering system allows you to control the direction of your vehicle with precision. Any wear or fault in these systems can lead to uneven tyre wear, decreased braking efficiency, and a less stable driving experience.

Over time, road conditions, impacts, and normal wear take their toll. Worn suspension parts, misaligned steering, or damaged shock absorbers can cause your tyres to wear unevenly or prematurely, potentially leading to costly replacements and reduced grip on the road. Similarly, compromised suspension affects how effectively your brakes can slow or stop your car, increasing stopping distances and risk.

At Beechboro Mechanical, our technicians conduct thorough inspections and servicing of your suspension and steering components to ensure everything is in optimal condition. We use advanced diagnostic tools to detect worn bushings, ball joints, tie rods, and shock absorbers before they cause further damage.

How Beechboro Mechanical Helps Protect Your Tyres and Brakes

Suspension checks that evaluate springs, shocks, struts, and mounting hardware.

A comprehensive service should always includes

Steering system assessment including rack and pinion, power steering fluid levels, and steering linkage condition

Wheel alignment to correct any deviations causing uneven tyre wear and to ensure your vehicle tracks straight

Tyre inspections focusing on tread wear patterns that often reveal suspension or steering issues

Brake system evaluation to confirm brakes respond correctly, as suspension faults can cause instability under braking

By maintaining your suspension and steering, we help extend the life of your tyres and brakes, save you money in the long term, and keep your driving experience safe and comfortable.

Pay attention to symptoms such as excessive bouncing over bumps, pulling to one side while driving, uneven or rapid tyre wear, unusual noises when turning, or a steering wheel that feels loose or stiff. These signs indicate it’s time for a professional check.

Signs You Need Suspension and Steering Service

Regular servicing at Beechboro Mechanical includes a detailed vehicle inspection, covering over 65 points including suspension and steering components, to catch issues early and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Suspension and steering integrity directly influence braking performance. If your tyres do not maintain solid contact with the road due to worn suspension parts, braking distances increase, especially in wet or slippery conditions. This compromises your ability to stop quickly and avoid hazards.

Well-maintained steering allows accurate control, making cornering safer and more predictable. The combination of properly functioning suspension, steering, tyres, and brakes is crucial for your vehicle’s handling, especially on rough or uneven roads common in many parts of Beechboro.

Our team at Beechboro Mechanical in Beechboro are highly trained and equipped to service all makes and models, ensuring your suspension and steering systems receive the attention they deserve. Whether you need routine inspections, repairs, or wheel alignment, we tailor our services to your vehicle’s needs.

Regular Servicing - Get Your Car Ready for Road Trips  with Beechboro Mechanical

As the main role of tyres is to keep your car in contact with the road, they play a vital role in the safety and stopping power of your car.

Regular car servicing will keep your car in good condition and having the tyres checked at the same time can help you be aware of the condition of your tyres while alerting you of any potential problems. Your Beechboro Mechanical mechanic can also let you know if your car would benefit from a wheel alignment or wheel balancing. They are relatively low cost solutions and can greatly improve your driving experience as well as overall vehicle safety.

Why get tyre and wheel services from Beechboro Mechanical?

Beechboro Mechanical are independently owned and operated and known locally for our honest service, years of experience and knowledge. We have a range of tyres and specialist equipment to perform your new tyre fitting or wheel alignment and balance. All our work is backed by the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty.

While checking your tyres is something you can do yourself, as professionals Beechboro Mechanical can check out the internal condition of your tyres as well as the entire outside surface and they are well aware of the correct methods of disassembly, repair and reassembly, along with any manufacturer or legal requirements involved.

Beechboro Mechanical can also advise you if there are any problems with your tyres, your wheel alignment, tyre balance or other areas of your car affecting your tyres such as brakes or suspension which you should be aware of to protect you and your vehicle, including the tyres themselves.

Tyres eventually wear out over time, an unavoidable process which is quickened by hard braking and regular high speed driving as well as uneven road surfaces. Unless there are problems causing uneven tyre wear or bald spots or there is other significant damage, the depth of the tread on the tyre is usually the best indicator your tyres are due for replacement. Although the legal minimum tread depth varies, a good rule of thumb is when tread depth is approaching 1.6mm you should think about buying new tyres.

Tread on a tyre is very important as this is where you get the traction to both move the car forwards and also the friction required to stop safely and efficiently. Tread is also the method by which water is dissipated away from the tyre surface in a way which prevents aquaplaning and maintaining maximum grip and control. The less tread depth you have, the less control you will have in wet driving conditions.

Tyres generally last between six to ten years and the better you look after them the more chance there is that it will be the latter rather than the former.

Tyre pressure is not just important to ensure you get the best fuel economy from your vehicle. Incorrect tyre pressure is a common cause of tyre damage as pressure and wear is directed at areas of the tyre not designed to take it. Perhaps most importantly the pressure of your tyres can have a direct impact on the driveability, and therefore the safety, of the vehicle.

You should check your tyres yourself on a regular basis to ensure they are in good condition. Be on the lookout for bald or flat spots, tears and cuts in the surface of the tyre and any foreign objects likely to cause problems such as stones, nails and other road debris. You should also have a tyre professional give them a check on a regular basis as they have the knowledge and equipment to properly check the entire tyre and may spot issues you simply don't see.

Tyres will suffer from wear and tear at varying rates. The front and rear tyres for example will wear at different rates as front tyres generally carry more weight than rear ones, meaning faster heat build-up and therefore increased wear. The tyres on either side of your car will also tend to wear at different rates to those on the opposite side.

Having your tyres rotated regularly, every 8000 to 10,000 km for example, can help to ensure that all of your tyres wear at a similar rate and in the same places. Beechboro Mechanical will be happy to undertake this task for you and inspect each tyre as they do it, letting you know of any issues that might present a problem or you should otherwise be aware of. We can undertake all types of tyre rotation for you including Cross rotation, straight rotation, 5 wheel rotation and four wheel drive rotation.

Will a regular wheel alignment or balance help look after tyres?

Regular wheel alignment helps to protect against premature or uneven tyre wear, increases the safety and handling of your vehicle and improves ride performance and fuel efficiency. Wheel balancing helps to minimise vibration through the wheels, thereby minimising premature or uneven tyre wear. Either wheel service (or both) will go a long way in helping to maximise the life of your tyres along with safety and handling benefits.

No matter how well you care for your tyres there will come a time when the only option for maintaining safety, comfort and fuel economy of your car is to have the tyres replaced, such as when they have reached the minimum tread depth.
