Looking for the perfect gift for the EV enthusiast in your life? Or thinking of treating yourself? Look no further. As we head into the holiday season, we share our pick of thoughtful ideas to help brighten those EV journeys – from music and entertainment subscriptions to essential accessories to help drivers through the winter and beyond.
Essential EV car care kit
An EV car care kit is a practical gift for anyone who loves their EV as much as us. Curate a selection of must-have accessories to help you or your EV enthusiast keep their vehicle in top condition. Include essential items like car shampoo and microfiber cloths, which can help to protect paint, windows and other high-shine surfaces from scratches when cleaning. Add a water-repellent wax to help keep the car’s exterior glossy – and, if the vehicle has leather seats, consider adding a leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the material soft and supple.
A travel mug
A good travel mug is a must-have for any EV driver who enjoys a hot drink on the go – helping to keep drinks warm, avoid spills and reduce waste. As the weather turns cold, consider looking for heated travel mugs, or insulated options that can keep drinks hot for several hours. This practical gift is perfect for EV drivers who regularly make long journeys – or those who enjoy a hot coffee on an early morning winter commute.
A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Cold weather can cause car tire pressure to drop, making it important to check and inflate tires regularly. A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a handy tool that monitors tire pressure and alerts the driver if there's a problem. It's a practical and thoughtful gift that ensures safe and efficient driving in all weather conditions.
A music or podcast subscription
Help to keep both driver and passengers entertained with a subscription to a favorite music or podcast streaming service. Whether they’re into ‘80s hits or true crime, a subscription can help to alleviate boredom on longer trips. Look for ones that include the option to download songs and shows before hitting the road – that way, the fun can continue even in areas without a stable internet connection.
A cozy car blanket
A must-have for any EV – a cozy car blanket is perfect for keeping drivers warm if they stop for a break on their journey, or for passengers enjoying a nap in the back seat. For dog owners, consider a washable blanket that will help to keep their pup warm and comfortable in the winter months – while protecting car seats from fur and dirt from muddy walks.
