Nissan is working on a specialized paint application that will dramatically lower the temperature of your car on a hot day.
The specialized paint incorporates metamaterial, synthetic composite materials with structures that exhibit properties not usually found in nature. This allows them to reflect significantly more light than a normal paint might.
The initial results show a 12-degree Celsius (21.6 degree Fahrenheit) reduction in exterior surface temperatures and up to 5-degree Celsius (9 degree Fahrenheit) cooler interior.
These impressive results not only mean a more comfortable cabin on a hot day, but also a reduced need for air conditioning, which would mean less fuel usage, or less battery usage. This is a win-win in our effort to combat climate change, and also provide a better passenger experience.
The radiative cooling paint seems like a no-brainer to adopt across the industry. Learn more on Nissan’s website.
