What does EV window tinting cost in Brisbane?
Straight answer: quality ceramic window tint in Brisbane runs from about $390 for rear glass only to about $1,190 for our flagship multi-layer film on a large SUV. Most EV owners choose full-car ceramic at $650–$730.
For an EV the film choice matters more than the price: metallised films can interfere with GPS, connectivity and keyless entry. We fit metal-free ceramic IR film only — full signal strength, serious heat rejection, and the air-con load drops enough to show up in your consumption figures on a Brisbane summer day.

What moves the price
Rear-only, full car, or the flagship film. The step from standard to flagship ceramic is real chemistry — measurably higher infrared rejection and a lifetime film warranty, which is what separates a $650 job from a $950 one.
A Dolphin and an EV9 carry very different glass real estate, so pricing scales with vehicle size — transparently, in the quote, up front.
Dyed film fades purple and blocks little heat; metallised film kills signal; nano-ceramic film does neither. We only fit ceramic — it's why our floor price isn't $200.
QLD requires 35% VLT on front sides, 20% behind the driver, and nothing on the windscreen beyond the legal visor strip. We fit within the limits as standard — no roadworthy surprises.

Common questions
Does tint actually improve EV range?
Indirectly, yes. Less cabin heat means the air-con works less, and air-con is one of the biggest non-driving loads on an EV battery. On hot Brisbane days owners genuinely see the difference in consumption.
Will tint interfere with GPS, 5G or my phone key?
Not with the right film. Metal-free ceramic film rejects heat via nano-ceramic particles, not metal — GPS, connectivity and keyless entry stay at full strength. This is the single most important spec for tinting an EV.
What tint is legal in Queensland?
Front side windows must allow at least 35% of light through (VLT), rear sides and rear window at least 20% for most passenger cars. The windscreen takes nothing beyond the legal visor strip. We fit within these limits as standard.
How long does tinting take?
Two to three hours for most cars. Pairing tint with ceramic coating in one visit is our most popular combination — one visit, both jobs.
