Frequently Asked Questions

Does window tinting really help EV battery range?

Yes! Ceramic window tint blocks up to 60% of solar heat, reducing your AC usage significantly. Less AC = less battery drain. Many Tesla owners report 5-10% range improvement in hot weather after installing quality ceramic tint.

What's special about protecting EVs vs regular cars?

EVs often have unique features: massive glass roofs (Tesla, Rivian), premium matte finishes that can't be polished, ADAS cameras that require careful film placement, and higher resale values worth protecting. Our installers are trained on every major EV platform.

Do you work with all electric vehicle brands?

Yes! We protect Teslas (Model 3, Y, S, X, Cybertruck), Rivian R1T/R1S, Lucid Air, Polestar 2/3, BMW iX/i4, Mercedes EQS/EQE, Audi e-tron, VW ID.4, Hyundai Ioniq, Kia EV6, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and many more.

How does PPF protect EV premium paint finishes?

Many EVs offer specialty matte or satin finishes that can't be polished if damaged. Self-healing PPF creates an invisible barrier against rock chips, scratches, and swirl marks while preserving the factory finish appearance.
