Why Electric Vehicles Still Need HushMat

By HushMat

Electric vehicles (EVs) are praised for being smooth and eco-friendly. With no internal combustion engine under the hood, they produce virtually no engine noise. But if

EVs have no engine noise you might be wondering:

“Why would an EV owner need HushMat sound deadening?”

The answer might surprise you.

While EVs eliminate internal combustion engine noise, they also reveal all other sources of sound in your vehicle—from road surface variation, tire whine, wind noise, rattles and vibrations that used to be masked by engine roar. That’s exactly why HushMat is still essential in an EV—maybe even more so than in traditional gas-powered vehicles.   Most of the EV noise is structural in nature and can be easily treated with HushMat sound deadening.  

 

 

🚫 Less Engine Noise = More Noticeable Distractions

Without the internal combustion engine masking noise, the following become significantly more pronounced in EVs:

  • Tire and road noise

  • Wind turbulence at higher speeds

  • Rattling panels and interior buzz

  • Electric motor whine 

  • HVAC and fan noise

What used to be background noise becomes front and center—especially at highway speeds.

 

 

🔇 How HushMat Helps EV Owners Reclaim the Quiet

HushMat is the premium sound-deadening and thermal insulation material that reduces vibration, noise transfer, and heat from the outside in. It installs directly onto metal surfaces inside your vehicle—like doors, floors, and wheel wells—to create a quieter, more comfortable cabin.

Benefits of adding HushMat to your EV:

  • Quiets road and tire noise 

  • Eliminates vibrations and panel buzz

  • Improves overall ride quality and comfort

  • Makes conversations and music clear at all speeds

  • Reduces electric motor whine 

 

 

🔋 Thermal Insulation = Better Range Efficiency

Sound isn’t the only thing EV drivers need to manage—temperature is another critical factor.

HushMat also provides thermal insulation, which helps:

  • Keep your EV interior cooler in summer and warmer in winter

  • Reduce strain and excess draw on HVAC system

  • Preserve battery range by lowering climate control energy use

In cold or hot climates, this can directly contribute to range efficiency and passenger comfort.

 

 

🚗 Perfect for New Builds or Retrofitting

Whether you’re:

  • Driving a Tesla, Rivian, Ford Lightning, Lucid, or Nissan Leaf

  • Building an electric restoration or EV conversion

  • Or just looking to make your EV quieter and more refined

HushMat is easy to install and works with any EV platform. No special tools required—just peel, stick, and press. It’s the ultimate DIY-friendly upgrade.

✅ Conclusion: Silence Is Golden—Even in an EV


EVs are changing the way we drive, but they haven’t eliminated noise—they’ve simply changed where it comes from. If you want to experience your electric vehicle the way it was meant to be—peaceful, refined, and truly quiet—HushMat is the finishing touch your cabin needs.
