Rust Proofing an EV
The growth of electric vehicles (EV) and hybrids is expected to steadily increase. Some experts believe cars and trucks using a traditional gasoline engine will no longer be sold after 2035. Whether you are at the front of the EV trend or plan on waiting until the last minute, eventually you may have an EV and want to protect it from the elements.
Electric vehicles are manufactured by many of the big names in the auto industry including Telsa, Volkswagen, General Motors, Hyundai, Ford, Kia, BMW, and Toyota. While modern vehicle manufacturing has helped with the problem of automotive rust, it hasn’t completely removed it. If you are concerned about rust forming due to daily corrosives such as ordinary air, humidity, water spray and road contaminants such as salt and lime on your electric vehicle, Auto One’s rust-proofing may be for you.

We asked the rust proofing experts at Auto One, which of the vehicle protection products could safely be used by EV owners.
“We’ve been reviewing rust proofing for electric cars for a few months. Like other shops, we’ve seen a rise in Teslas and Toyota-hybrids. Our current recommendation is to only apply the corrosion barrier for EVs,” said Mitch Zoldowski, owner Auto One Brighton. He continued, “With the battery pack under the vehicle, we’re informing customers that Auto One’s vehicle undercoating with sound deadening isn’t right for their electric vehicle.”
According to a post on X by Elon Musk, the cost to replace the battery pack on a Tesla could be between $5,000 and $20,000.
“Auto One’s corrosion barrier is a safe product that isn’t likely to corrupt the battery module of an electric vehicle,” said Mitch.
In all cases, customers should consult their owner’s manual and warranty documentation to verify the application of any corrosion and rust prohibiting products does not invalidate their manufacturer’s warranty.
