In the summer, high temperatures can make vehicles hot. Here are 5 ways to help cars cool down and save energy in the summer.

Use insulation films for glass doors

One of the most effective methods to keep the car cooler in the summer is the insulation film for glass doors. Insulation film helps reduce the amount of ultraviolet rays and heat directly from the sun, keeping the space inside the car always cool. According to Dr. Jonathan Green, a car technology expert at California University of Technology and Technology: "The insulation film not only protects the car's interior from the intense sunlight, but also helps reduce the load on the air conditioning system, fuel efficient."

Driving in the morning or evening

If possible, driving in the early morning or late afternoon is a smart choice to avoid hot peak hours. This not only helps avoid hot weather but also reduces the risk of overloading air conditioners. adjusting driving hours appropriately is one of the easy ways to keep your vehicle from getting too hot, says Carlos Ramirez, research director at the Center for Energy and Transportation Research.

Use sunscreen for front and rear glasses

A simple but effective tip is to use sunshades for the front and rear windshields of the vehicle. This helps prevent direct sunlight from reaching the dashboard and seats, thereby helping to reduce the temperature inside the vehicle.

Adjusting air conditioning temperature

Instead of overcooling, adjust the air conditioner temperature to a moderate level to maintain a cool but still save energy. In addition, replacing air conditioners periodically will help the air conditioning system operate more effectively.

Parking in shady areas

If possible, always try to park your vehicle in the shade like under a tree or in a covered parking lot. This helps avoid keeping the temperature inside the vehicle from rising too high when there are no people inside.

The above tips all help your car stay cool and comfortable in the summer, helping to protect the interior and save fuel effectively.
