Can I tint my electric car’s windows?
I’m bought an electric car, but its windows are too clear for my liking. Can I tint the windows of an electric car?

Congratulations on your new EV! Yes, you can definitely
tint the windows
of an electric car. In fact, doing so can improve your new vehicle’s range!
It turns out, a lot of the electricity stored in your battery gets lost in the creature comforts of your interior. Your air conditioner alone can eat up to 10% of your range. Tinting your windows can help keep your car cool so you don’t need to blast the A/C as much.
High-quality ceramic tint films can block up to 99% of the sun’s UV rays and up to 63% of solar energy. Together, that can cut the temperature of your electric car’s interior in half, saving you more battery power for getting where you want to go.
10% of your battery power might not seem like that big of a deal, but in the long run, it can save you a lot of money on your electricity bill, something you’ll notice will increase once you own an electric car.
On the whole, you’ll still spend less than you would on gas, but there’s no point in spending money you don’t have to, right?
Another great way to save on electric car ownership is to shop for car insurance
