Ground-Breaking EVs Require Ground-Breaking Protection

Ceramic Coatings and PPF Packages for Electric Vehicles in Scottsdale, AZ

Focusing Protection Efforts on Battery-Powered Rides

The world is in the middle of a paradigm shift, where we are starting to see more and more vehicles without tailpipes or the need to stop at a traditional gas station. At one point, it was mere fantasy to think that a battery could simply power your automobile, where you simply plug it in like your TV or computer to take it on the road the next day. This fantasy is now a reality; however, we need to be sure that we keep these new vehicles safe, secure, and running as long as they should.


Installing Ceramic Coatings and a PPF on Various EVs

Here at Pit Stop Auto Detailing & Vehicle Storage, we serve electric vehicle owners proudly with hydrophobic ceramic coatings and self-healing paint protection film packages. While on some level, these paint and surface protection products certainly bring all the great gloss-enhancing and secure surface durability properties that get applied to traditional vehicles, many fully electric vehicles are not only looked at like high-profile sports cars and luxury SUVs, but we are constantly discovering the dynamic ways in which we need to keep them safe from the environment.


The EV brands that our ceramic coating and PPF installation teams are trained on include:

  • BMW
  • Lucid
  • Mercedes
  • Porsche
  • Rivian
  • Tesla
  • Volkswagen

This list is consistently expanding as more and more name brands put out electric vehicles of their own, so if you do not own any of the aforementioned brands, that does NOT mean we do not detail and protect your EV. Start by calling us at (480) 584-6115 to discuss your ceramic coating and PPF installation options today. We will also provide you with a FREE price estimate when you click the button below so we can take into account any special requests, concerns, or questions you have for your appointment.

Questions About Adding a Ceramic Coating to an EV

  • Are only specific brands of ceramic coatings available for EVs?

    You do not need to explore specific brands of ceramic coatings for all types of electric vehicles. What is more important in the process of finding the appropriate ceramic coating for your electric car, truck, or SUV is trusting a fully-trained and certified EV ceramic coating installer. Our team at Pit Stop Auto Detailing & Vehicle Storage is well-versed and extremely experienced in applying our ceramic coating formulas on Tesla, Rivina, Lucid, and more.

  • Does the detailing routine look different to preserve an EV ceramic coating?

    Not necessarily, though our trained auto detailers do know how to care for electric cars, trucks, or SUVs to make sure their integrity and functionality is preserved. Our ceramic coating formulas secure the pristine nature of your paint shine and the various components around the exterior of your EV, and when the time comes for its regular maintenance, we make sure that no part of our detailing process has any negative effects on your EV.

  • Does electric vehicle paint look more glossy with a ceramic coating?

    Absolutely! Much like adding a ceramic coating to a traditional automobile, our ceramic coating packages will amplify the gloss, color richness, and surface shine of any electric vehicle. Many of the new brands of EVs driven here in the Scottsdale, Arizona area are NEW compared to traditional gas vehicles, and their paintwork is exceptionally exquisite. We maintain and enhance the glamor of your unique color and detail!

  • Is hydrophobicity more important on an EV due to the electrical components?

    Hydrophobicity is important for stain resistance, prevention of oxidation, and the nanoparticle-based characteristics of a ceramic coating also stop the powerful ultraviolet light from the Arizona sun from cooking your paintwork. The hydrophobic nature of our specific formulas certainly HELPS prevent any type of degradation that may happen to the components of your electric vehicle, but it is not necessarily a requirement.

Myths Surrounding PPF Application on Electric Vehicles

The number 1 is in a black circle on a white background.
Myth 1: PPF packages will stop impact damage on your EV

Just like wrapping a PPF on a gas-powered automobile, they will prevent light surface discrepancies and defects in your vehicle’s clear coat, such as light scrapes, etching, marring, swirls, and stains. You will also see a gloss-enhancement on your paintwork at the same time, but they will NOT prevent dents, physical damage, or any type of heavy abrasion that breaks all the way through to your painted panel.

The number two is in a black circle on a white background.
Myth 2: Because Arizona is temperate, a PPF is not necessary

The dust, sand, and dirt that blows around here in the Scottsdale area affects your vehicle’s finish over time, especially if you drive any type of electric vehicle. We want to preserve the value of your EV for as long as possible to ensure it continues to serve you well in our desert state, so adding a paint protection film is QUITE necessary for helping it resist those contaminants.

The number three is in a black circle on a white background.
Myth 3: Arizona’s sun is too hot for a PPF to handle

Our PPF packages installed here at Pit Stop Auto Detailing & Vehicle Storage are built to withstand the high temperatures of Arizona, no matter if it is the mildness of winter or the immense heat of mid-summer. Because we custom cut our PPF packages to fit your Tesla, Rivia, or Lucid electric vehicle before applying them, wrapping the edges, and smoothing them off, they stay in place for the warrantied number of years, filtering UV light and withstanding temperature swings no matter where they are driven.
