Occasionally I watch MotorWeek on PBS just to see how well and often they report on EVs. That episode #3704H was not about EVs, but did have 1 pih. The car-guy shop segment had a company showing how an easy to apply film could protect the body (like window tinting, but clear to protect the vehicle). The vehicle they demoed on was a Porsche ice. But this product would also be applicable to plugins, if that company had pre-cut pieces for them.
If I had just taken ownership of a Bolt or Tesla-3 EV, I would consider installing this film to help protect the EV from scratches, dings, and other debris from stones thrown from the vehicle in front of you. Interestingly, when I searched their web site, though not all EVs were listed, they did offer quite a few. So, since the 2010 production EV's beginnings, some companies that mainly provide services to ice, are now also offering them to plugins: http://www.xpel.com/paint-protection-kits/XPEL_US_and_Canada/Passenger_Cars_and_Light_Trucks/2017/Tesla/Model_S Tesla-S (& there is a Tesla-X page) http://www.xpel.com/paint-protection-kits/XPEL_US_and_Canada/Passenger_Cars_and_Light_Trucks/2017/Chevrolet/Bolt_EV/LT GM Bolt http://www.xpel.com/paint-protection-kits/XPEL_US_and_Canada/Passenger_Cars_and_Light_Trucks/2017/Nissan/Leaf/SV Nissan Leaf (different pages for each trim) http://www.xpel.com/paint-protection-kits/XPEL_US_and_Canada/Passenger_Cars_and_Light_Trucks/2017/BMW/i3/Mega_World BMW i3 http://www.xpel.com/paint-protection-kits/XPEL_US_and_Canada/Passenger_Cars_and_Light_Trucks/2017/Kia/Soul_(US)/EV Kia Soul EV http://www.xpel.com/paint-protection-kits/XPEL_US_and_Canada/Passenger_Cars_and_Light_Trucks/2017/Volkswagen/Golf/e-Golf VW e-Golf http://www.xpel.com/products/ products (there are more plugin pages than what is above) [video https://youtu.be/YSK4nWLZLL8 XPEL ULTIMATE & STEALTH Paint Protection Film ] http://www.xpel.com/locator/search/clearbra_installers/ installers http://www.motorweek.org/ http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/archive/index.jsp?pgmid=2346&date=20170901 For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/evln/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
