Christmas gift ideas for electric car drivers 2024

Are you looking for some last-minute gift ideas for an EV enthusiast? We've put together a list to help you!

A new Tesla Wall Connector faceplate

Did you know that the Tesla Wall Connector's faceplates are swappable?

While they do fetch a price of around £95, these faceplates are made of durable tempered glass and come in a range of colours to match the standard paintwork of most Tesla cars including Midnight silver Metallic, Deep Blue Metallic, Red Multi-Coat and Solid Black.

Swapping the Wall Connector's faceplate is fairly straightforward with instructions being found on the Tesla website.

Xiaomi portable electric air compressor

It could be argued that a portable air compressor should be an essential part of a driver's everyday carry.

And this air compressor by Xiaomi is so small that it can be carried in your car's boot, door bins, glove box, centre console or even just in your pocket.

It's powerful too despite its small size, being able to fully inflate an empty car tyre in just 8 minutes thanks to 150 PSI of pressure.

You can even set a target air pressure, so you needn't worry about over-inflating your tyres. It also features six inflation modes so that you can inflate bike, motorcycle, or electric scooter tyres or even just a ball.

There's even a built-in LED light, so you can see what you're doing when inflating your tyres in the dark.

And when the air compressor's battery runs out of juice, you can simply charge it back up using a USB-C cable.

The Yeti Rambler

Thermos mugs are a common sight in many people's cars but having a quality-made one like the 20oz Yeti Rambler can be a game changer.

Coming in a wide range of colours, the Rambler's vacuum-insulated design keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for over five hours.

What's more, it's dishwasher friendly and the cap on its lid is magnetic so that you can clean underneath it.

You can even buy different lids like the one in the left image above that allows you to use a straw or the one in the right image, which turns the rambler into a cocktail shaker (mocktail if you're driving).

Build your own electric car guide

Got a tinkerer on your giftee list? The Third Edition of Build Your Own Electric Vehicle by Seth Leitman might be just the gift for them.

From converting ICE vehicles to building an EV from the ground up, this comprehensive book covers all you need to know to get started and help your giftee finish that dream project they might have been working on.

Interior LED lights

Whether you love them or hate them, LED strip lighting can add a unique look to your car's interior.

This kit on Amazon features ultra-thin LED strips that can sit flush on your car's doors and dashboard giving your interior a look that mimics the lighting found in new premium cars.

Car air purifier

Does your giftee value cleanliness? Then the Phillips GoPure car air purifier could be perfect for them!

Powered by either a USB-C cable or a 5-volt socket and designed to fit in your car's cup holder, the GoPure uses a SaniFilter to suck in and capture particles floating in the air.

It then blasts the filter with a UV light, eliminating 99.9% of viruses and bacteria, keeping the air inside your car clean and free of almost all harmful germs.

The filters last up to 12 months too, so you won't need to worry about constantly changing it.

What's more, the Purifier GoPure features HESAMax technology which is designed to target harmful gases and odours floating around in your car, keeping your car smelling fresh whilst also ridding it of any toxic chemicals.

You can purchase Phillip's GoPure on Amazon although stocks are low, so hurry!

Gifts for the Tesla head

We mention Tesla's merchandise store every year and this year is no different.

From blankets to mugs to mini Cybertruck like quadbikes for kids, you can deck your gifee's house with pretty much Tesla-branded anything. There are even Tesla branded salt and pepper shakers.

Of course, there's a wide range of clothing available too so you can rock around in the latest Tesla fashion.
