Electric cars are at high risk for damage by rats and mice because the company uses soya protein in the engine wires, as well as peanut oil as lubricant. Hence ‘Tesla Rat Problem’ is commonly searched for on Google. When the battery is charging it becomes warm, attracting rodents. In the pictures you can see a Tesla parked on the RatMat where it has been completely effective at keeping rodent damage at bay.

There are three reasons that rats and mice might get into a car and they are all in order to survive. Shelter, food and warmth.

Due to the complex nature of the wiring in many electric cars it may be recommended that the entire loom is replaced in the case of rodent damage. This may be more expensive but also more reliable than localised repair.

RatMat is the perfect solution to prevent damage to your electric car. Simply lay it on the floor of your garage or driveway, park on it and it will harmlessly repel rats for many years to come.

The electrified surface will give a safe electric shock, like an electric fence, to any rodent that walks on it. Despite this, you can walk on it with shoes on and drive on and off without any problems. In tests, rats never took bait from the surface making it ideal when it comes to protecting your car from rodents.

Sounds fantastic. Very useful for places like the states.
But I wash my vehicles at the same place they're parked, which I guess is the case for many folks here. So this option goes out of question.
