One of the doubts that arise when switching to electric mobility<\/a> is whether electric cars need to pass the ITV. Well, the answer is yes, electric cars must pass the Technical Vehicle Inspection<\/strong> periodically, just like all cars that circulate on the road, regardless of whether they are electric, hybrid, or internal combustion. In this article, we analyze why and provide useful information if you have an electric car and are going to take the ITV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difference between the ITV of an electric car and one powered by diesel or gasoline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gas emissions are what primarily differentiate an electric car from a traditional internal combustion vehicle. For this reason, it is often thought that electric cars do not need to pass the ITV, as this is one of the main issues that diesel and gasoline cars tend to have during inspections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, although electric cars do not emit gas emissions and do not have to go through this part of the ITV, they operate just like other vehicles. Therefore, it is also necessary to check that everything is in perfect condition<\/strong> to ensure that driving is as safe as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, they do not undergo the gas emission review but do go through the inspection of the general condition of the car, tires, seat belts, lights, braking, suspension, and other aspects that are taken into account in the ITV. For this reason, the ITV of an electric car is practically the same<\/strong> as that of an internal combustion car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price of the ITV for an electric car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite not having to undergo the gas emissions test, the ITV for an electric car costs the same<\/strong> as for any vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It depends on your location, as the price of the ITV can vary depending on the autonomous community, the region, or the inspection center itself. More or less, the price is around 50\u20ac<\/strong>, but as we said, it can vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often to take the inspection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we mentioned, the ITV is practically the same for all cars that circulate on the road, and the only difference is the gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, electric cars must take the ITV with the same frequency as any car:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
