Touchscreens in electric cars are far more than just a convenience; they are the central interface between humans and machines. From the Tesla Model 3 to the BMW i4, they not only replace traditional buttons but also control navigation, air conditioning, driving modes, and even the windshield wipers. This makes them essential for driving safety, functionality, and vehicle value.
But it is precisely this central role that makes touch surfaces vulnerable: to scratches, fingerprints, light reflections and, essentially underestimated but relevant, to sometimes serious visual distractions while driving.
Why e-car touchscreens are particularly in need of protection
- More frequent use: In electric cars, controls are operated almost exclusively via the display. Even the glove compartment and windshield wipers are often controlled digitally.
- Minimalist interior: Without traditional buttons, the display becomes the central eye-catcher and thus also the main source of problems, especially when it is dirty or scratched.
- Finer sensor technology: Modern electric cars use capacitive touch technology with higher sensitivity, which reacts particularly to surface changes.
A study by the University of Toronto (Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, 2021*) shows that vehicles with central touchscreens have an average operating time of 23% longer when the display is dirty or reflective. This not only increases distraction but also impairs intuitive control.
The solution: high-quality screen protector
GrizzProtector offers protective films specifically designed for electric cars that not only protect against scratches and fingerprints, but also minimize reflections and improve touch responsiveness. The films are laser-cut (the template comes directly from the respective car) and precisely laser-cut to fit Tesla, Hyundai Ioniq, VW ID.4, Polestar, Mercedes EQ series, and many more.
Comparison: Without protective film vs. with GrizzProtector
| 🔍 Criterion | ❌ Without protective film | ✅ With GrizzProtector |
|---|---|---|
| 👆 Touch operation | Inaccurate fingerprints | Smooth & sensitive like the original |
| 🌞 Visibility in the sun | Disturbing reflections | Matt film reduces glare |
| 🧼 Cleaning | Streaks & polishing effort | Anti-fingerprint surface |
| 🔧 Assembly | No | Perfect fit & self-assembly |
| 💰 Value retention | Scratches reduce resale value | New appearance is retained |
Conclusion: Anyone who drives electric needs digital protection
Displays in electric cars are the control center of the vehicle. Cutting corners here is a false economy. With a high-quality protective film from GrizzProtector, you not only ensure comfort and functionality, but also lasting aesthetics and safety.
