# ⚡ Protint – Premium Detailing & Protection for the MG 4 EV
## 🎭 A Special Note for MG 4 EV Owners
The **MG 4 EV** is a revolutionary all-electric hatchback that has taken the global EV market by storm. Built on MG's dedicated Modular Scalable Platform (MSP), the MG 4 combines striking 'Cyber Hunting' design language with impressive performance, class-leading range (up to 520 km WLTP), and an affordable price point that makes electric mobility accessible to the masses.
Available in multiple variants including **Standard (51 kWh), Long Range (64 kWh), Extended Range (77 kWh), and the high-performance XPOWER (429 bhp)** , the MG 4 is built for tech-savvy commuters, early EV adopters, and driving enthusiasts who value:
- **Futuristic aesthetics** – protecting sharp lines, aggressive LED signatures, and aerodynamic curves
- **EV range optimization** – reducing AC load means more kilometers per charge
- **Practical protection** – solutions that fit the MG 4 owner's budget without cutting corners
- **Battery preservation** – managing cabin temperature to reduce battery cooling load
- **Resale value retention** – a well-protected MG 4 commands premium pricing
> **⚠️ Important Legal Note for Indian Car Owners**: As per the **Supreme Court ruling in Avishek Goenka v. Union of India (2012)** and the **Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989**, aftermarket sun films are effectively **prohibited** in India . **Only factory-fitted tinted glass** that complies with VLT requirements is permitted . The minimum VLT standards are:
> - **Front & Rear Windshields**: 70%
> - **Side Windows**: 50%
>
> **Penalties for non-compliance** include fines starting at ₹500, on-the-spot film removal, and possible vehicle registration suspension for repeat offences . We strictly adhere to the law by recommending **removable mesh sunshades** (legal only while parked) and relying on **factory-fitted tinted glass** for heat rejection.
