Ah, springtime in New Jersey. The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and the potholes—well, they’re popping up just like the daffodils. While we all welcome warmer days and sunshine after a long winter, your car might be a little less enthusiastic. In fact, spring can be downright rough on your vehicle. Why? One word: potholes.

Spring has arrived, and that means longer days, budding trees, and—you guessed it—plenty of rain.

Below, we’ll break down what EV owners—and those thinking about buying an EV—need to know, plus how DeBoer’s Auto is fully prepared to help.
