Can you actually wrap an electric car?


Yes, electric cars can be wrapped. Not only have these vehicles become an integral part of road traffic, but their modern design and innovative technology often make them stand out more than conventional combustion engines. Wrapping offers an ideal opportunity to take advantage of this visibility, for example as a mobile advertising space.


In this article, you will find out how this works, what options you have and what advantages wrapping offers.


Why wrapping your electric car makes sense


Imagine you have ordered your dream car. The model, color and equipment fit perfectly - but you want to give your vehicle an individual touch. Perhaps you even need specific lettering or a logo for your company? This is where vehicle wrapping comes into play.


Wrapping offers numerous advantages:


  • Individual design: whether plain, eye-catching or with a creative motif - there are no limits to your imagination. Even the most unusual RAL color of your company can be applied to the vehicle with complete wrapping.

  • Advertising space: You can make optimum use of the surfaces to make your company visible, especially on business vehicles.

  • Paint protection: The film protects the original paint from scratches, UV radiation and other environmental influences.


How does vehicle wrapping work?


The process begins with the selection of the design. You have several options:


  1. Submit your own design: you or your creative graphic designer can create a customized motif. It is important that the exact dimensions and specifications of the vehicle are adhered to. You will receive these in the form of a specific document containing all relevant details on dimensions such as fender width and vehicle length.

  2. Have the design created by the provider: Many providers, such as car dealerships or even ARI Motors as well as specialized wrapping companies, offer to create a suitable design for you.


The film is then professionally applied - either directly ex works or by a service provider of your choice. Both options have their advantages:


  • Factory wrapped: you save time and can use the finished vehicle straight away.

  • External wrapping: You receive the vehicle in its original condition and can have the wrap applied individually after delivery.


At ARI Motors, you also have the option of ordering your electric vehicle directly with a wrap. To help you prepare for the design, we provide you with a special document with the dimensions of the adhesive surfaces for our ARI 458 electric van, ARI 902 electric car, ARI 901 electric van and ARI 345 cargo trike models.

Which vehicle parts can be wrapped?


In principle, any vehicle can be wrapped - whether small areas or a complete wrap:

  • Partial wrapping: ideal for logos, lettering or small accents.

  • Complete wrapping: Perfect if you want to give the entire vehicle a new look.

The larger the film surface, the more space you have for creative designs or advertising.


Costs and time required to wrap the electric car


The cost of vehicle wrapping varies depending on the size of the vehicle and the design chosen. Partial wrapping is generally cheaper than full wrapping. The choice of material also plays a role: high-quality films are more durable and offer better protection


The time required also depends on the extent of the wrapping. A complete wrap can take several days, while smaller projects are often completed within a day.


Conclusion


Yes, you can have your electric car wrapped without any problems - regardless of whether it is a partial or complete wrap. Professional wrapping not only offers you creative design options, but also practical benefits such as paint protection and increased advertising impact. The choice is yours: have your vehicle wrapped directly ex works by ARI Motors, commission an external service provider or do the wrapping yourself.
