Nissan Unveils Innovative Paint to Keep Cars Cooler

The new paint reduces exterior temperatures by up to 22°F, aiming to cut energy use and improve comfort in hot climates.

The paint reflects sunlight and emits electromagnetic waves to deflect heat.
Developed with Radi-Cool, the coating is six times thicker than standard car paint.
Initial tests show a 22°F drop in roof temperature and a 9°F reduction inside the car.
The technology could extend electric vehicle battery life by reducing air conditioning use.
Commercialization challenges remain due to the paint's thickness and cost.
