Key takeaways

  • Under-inflated tires cost an EV 5โ€“10% of its range from just 4โ€“5 PSI low, 20โ€“40 km on a 400 km battery, so a $13โ€“$15 tire gauge can pay back over $200 a year in electricity.
  • The AstroAI digital tire gauge runs about $15 CAD on Amazon.ca and reads to 0.1 PSI.
  • A BougeRV charger holster (about $17 CAD) mounts to a garage wall in five minutes and fits standard J1772 connectors.
  • A four-piece first-EV starter kit, holster, tire gauge, phone mount, and a 24-pack of microfiber cloths, comes to under $65 CAD total.
  • Most EV USB ports are slow USB-A 2.0; an Anker 30W dual USB-C car charger (about $34 CAD) fast-charges two devices from the 12V outlet.

The car you just bought is fine. The setup around it is not.

You've got a charging cable draped across your garage floor like a garden hose. Your massive touchscreen has more fingerprints than a crime scene. And you're bleeding range because your tires are 4 PSI low and you have no idea.

These 10 accessories fix all of that. Most are under $25 CAD on Amazon.ca, all ship free with Prime, and every one of them solves a problem you're going to have (or already have and just haven't dealt with yet).

Why This List Exists

  • โœ… Most items under $25 CAD, the essentials are under $15
  • โœ… A $13 tire gauge can recover 5-10% of your lost range (that's $200+/year in electricity)
  • โœ… Your EV has the biggest touchscreen in any car you've owned, it needs different care
  • โœ… The "EV Starter Kit" below costs under $65 total and covers everything for day one
  • โœ… All available on Amazon.ca with Prime free shipping

The List

Level 2 EV charging cable and portable charger unit

1. BougeRV EV Charger Holster, ~$17

The problem: Your $50,000 EV is parked next to a charging cable lying on the garage floor like a dead snake.

The BougeRV holster mounts to your wall in 5 minutes with two screws. Your J1772 connector sits in it like it was designed that way. No more running over your own cable. No more dirt and grease on the connector that goes into your car every night.

90% of EV owners charge at home. 90% of those have the cable on the floor. Be the 10% with a clean garage.

โ†’ Grab it on Amazon.ca, $17


2. AstroAI Digital Tire Pressure Gauge, ~$15

The problem: You're losing 20-30 km of range and you don't even know it.

This is the single highest-ROI purchase on this entire list. Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance, which directly eats your battery. We're talking 5-10% range loss from just 4-5 PSI low. On a 400 km battery, that's 20-40 km you're throwing away every single charge.

The AstroAI gauge is backlit (because garages are dark), accurate to 0.1 PSI, and costs less than two coffees at Tim Hortons. Check once a week, 30 seconds, done. You'll recover the cost in electricity savings within a month.

This is the one item on this list you actually need. Everything else is nice-to-have. This one makes you money.

โ†’ $15 on Amazon.ca, seriously, just buy this


3. Miracase Phone Mount, ~$17

You're navigating to a charger with your phone in your lap on the highway.

Yes, your EV has a gorgeous built-in screen. But Google Maps and Waze still destroy every factory navigation system for real-time traffic routing and finding chargers. And on a long road trip where your next charging stop matters, you need your phone visible, stable, and at eye level.

The Miracase mount has 44,000+ reviews for a reason, it grips any phone, attaches to your vent or dash, and doesn't vibrate loose on Canadian highways (which, let's be honest, are not exactly smooth). One-hand operation. Under $20.

4. TICARVE Car Cleaning Gel, ~$12

Your EV's touchscreen looks like a toddler's iPad.

Tesla Model 3: 15.4-inch screen. Hyundai Ioniq 5: twin 12.3-inch displays. BYD Seal: 15.6-inch rotating screen. These aren't little gauges, they're basically TVs, and they show every fingerprint, dust particle, and smudge in direct sunlight.

TICARVE cleaning gel handles what cloths can't. It gets into vents, around buttons, into the gaps between your screen and dashboard where crumbs go to die. Peel it out, dust comes with it. Weirdly satisfying. One container lasts months.

48,000+ reviews and a near-perfect rating isn't an accident.

โ†’ $12 on Amazon.ca


5. Amazon Basics Microfiber Cloths (24-Pack), ~$15

Paper towels scratch. Regular cloths streak. You've been wiping a $2,000 touchscreen with the wrong material.

Paper towels scratch. Regular cloths leave streaks. Microfiber is the only material that should touch your EV's screen, period. This 24-pack gives you cloths for the car, the garage, the house, and spares. At $0.60 per cloth, it's the cheapest upgrade on this list, and once you switch, you'll never go back.

Keep two in the glovebox. Use one dry to wipe the screen before driving (you'll see everything clearer), one slightly damp for deeper cleaning. Your screen will look like it did on delivery day.

โ†’ 24-pack for $15 on Amazon.ca


6. ColorCoral Cleaning Gel, ~$9

The budget alternative if the TICARVE is sold out, or if you want to keep one in the car AND one at home. Same concept, squishy gel picks up dust and debris from every crevice. Works beautifully around your EV's charging port where road grime collects.

At under $9, buy two. Leave one in the center console permanently. You'll use it more than you think.

โ†’ Under $9 on Amazon.ca


7. Ampper Blind Spot Mirrors (2-Pack), ~$8

The problem: Your EV is a silent predator and nobody hears you coming.

EVs don't make noise. Pedestrians don't hear you. Cyclists don't hear you. The car in the next lane doesn't hear you. At $8 for a pair of stick-on convex mirrors, this is the cheapest safety upgrade you can make. They add wide-angle coverage to your existing side mirrors and catch what your blind spot monitoring might miss, especially in base trims that don't have BSM at all.

Eight dollars. Potentially prevents a $5,000 insurance claim. The math is obvious.

โ†’ $8 for two on Amazon.ca

8. Little Trees Black Ice (24-Pack), ~$28

The hidden perk of EV ownership: No engine smell. No exhaust. No burnt oil. Your car's interior smells like whatever you want it to smell like.

A 24-pack of Black Ice is a year's supply for under $30. That's about $2.50/month to have a car that smells incredible every single day. Swap one in every two weeks, toss the old one. Your passengers will think you detail the car weekly.

โ†’ Year supply on Amazon.ca


9. CIKIShield Headrest Hooks (4-Pack), ~$12

Instant torque + loose grocery bags = eggs on the floor.

EVs accelerate fast. That's fun right up until your Costco run ends up on the floor of your trunk because you hit the accelerator at a green light. These headrest hooks let you hang bags from the front seats, groceries stay upright, takeout doesn't spill, your trunk stays organized.

They fold flat when not in use. Install takes 10 seconds. You'll wonder why every car doesn't come with these.

โ†’ 4-pack for $12 on Amazon.ca


10. Anker USB-C Car Charger (30W), ~$34

Your EV charges in 30 minutes at a DC fast charger. Your phone dies in the time it takes to find the charger.

If you're running PlugShare, Google Maps, Spotify, and a charging app simultaneously on a road trip, your phone battery is cratering. Most EV USB ports are slow USB-A 2.0, they can't keep up. The Anker 30W dual USB-C charger plugs into your 12V outlet and delivers real fast charging to two devices at once. Your phone gains battery faster than the apps drain it.

Anker's charging accessories are consistently the most reliable at this price. This one's a bit above $25 but earns every extra dollar.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need special accessories for an EV?
Some, yes. Tire pressure affects range in a way gas car owners never think about. Your charging cable needs to be organized and protected from garage grime. And the massive touchscreens in modern EVs need different cleaning than a small instrument cluster. The items on this list solve EV-specific problems that you won't find in a generic "car accessories" list.
What's the single most important accessory for a new EV owner?
A digital tire pressure gauge. It's $15, takes 30 seconds to use, and under-inflated tires cost you 5-10% of your range, that's 20-40 km per charge on most EVs. Over a year, that lost range translates to $200+ in extra electricity. The gauge pays for itself in a week and keeps paying forever.
Are these products available with free shipping in Canada?
Yes. Everything on this list is sold on Amazon.ca and ships free with Prime. Without Prime, orders over $35 qualify for free shipping, so buying any two or three items together gets you there. Prices can fluctuate, but all were verified at the time of writing.
Will these work with any EV, Tesla, Hyundai, Kia, etc.?
Every item is universal. The charger holster fits standard J1772 connectors (which every EV sold in Canada uses or includes an adapter for). The tire gauge, phone mount, cleaning supplies, and everything else works with Tesla, Hyundai, Kia, Chevrolet, Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, BYD, all of them.
How do I maintain the EV charging cable?
Keep the J1772 connector off the garage floor using a wall-mounted holster like the BougeRV (~$17). Dirt and grease on the connector can cause connection issues and degrade the charging port over time. Wipe the connector pins with a dry microfiber cloth weekly. Never coil the cable tightly when warm, let it cool first. In winter, avoid letting the cable freeze to the ground, which can crack the insulation.
