Enhancing Your Electric Vehicle (EV) Experience with BlackVue Dashcams

Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly gaining traction in Singapore. In the first half of 2024, electrified cars accounted for an impressive 80.9% of new car registrations, with pure EVs making up more than a third of this number. .

As more drivers make the switch to EVs, the demand for compatible, high-quality dashcams that provide superior safety and advanced features has surged. BlackVue dashcams are the ideal solution for EV owners, offering seamless compatibility, cutting-edge technology, and versatile installation options.

Why BlackVue Dashcams are Perfect for EV Owners?

1. Addressing Feature Gaps in Factory-Installed Dashcams
While some EVs come equipped with factory dashcams, these often lack advanced functionality. For instance, certain BYD models include only a front-facing dashcam without parking mode capabilities. Parking mode is crucial for monitoring your vehicle while it’s parked, safeguarding it from theft or hit-and-run incidents. Adding a BlackVue dual-channel dashcam, such as the DR590X-2CH, paired with a Cellink battery, provides Parking Mode for both the front and rear of your EV.

2. Improving Tesla’s Camera Coverage
Tesla’s built-in cameras provide extensive all-around coverage, but some drivers find the front camera’s narrow field of view inadequate for specific driving conditions. By installing a BlackVue dashcam, Tesla owners can eliminate blind spots and enjoy enhanced visibility with a wider, clearer view of the road.

​3. Equipping EVs Without Factory Dashcams
Not all EVs come with factory-installed dashcams. For example, Denza vehicles do not include a dashcam as standard equipment. For these models, BlackVue has become the preferred choice among car agents due to its premium features and reliability. The BlackVue DR590X-2CH, a dual-channel dashcam with front and rear Full HD cameras, is frequently installed locally for Denza owners to ensure comprehensive road coverage.

​Seamless Compatibility with EVs in Singapore
A common concern among EV owners is whether aftermarket dashcams are compatible with their vehicles. With BlackVue, the answer is a resounding yes. Designed with EVs in mind, BlackVue dashcams provide various power options to ensure safe and seamless integration:

1. Hardwiring Cable for Professional Installation
   Hardwiring your dashcam to the EV’s fuse box ensures a clean and hidden installation.
2. Cigar Jack Cable for Easy Setup
   The cigar jack cable offers a quick, hassle-free installation for drivers who prioritize convenience.
3. USB-C Cable for Modern Compatibility (coming soon)
   With many newer EV models equipped with USB-C ports, BlackVue’s USB-C Power Cable provides an efficient plug-and-play power solution. This requires a Power Delivery 3.0 compatible port.
4. ​OBD II Power Cable for Seamless Integration
   ​The new OBD II Power Cable offers a hassle-free way to power your dashcam by connecting directly to your vehicle’s OBD port. This option simplifies installation while ensuring consistent power, making it especially appealing to EV owners who want a neat, professional setup without tapping into the fuse box. (not compatible for Tesla EVs).

5. Cellink Battery for Safer Parking Mode
    If you would rather avoid using your vehicle’s battery in Parking Mode, look for a dedicated Cellink Neo Batteries.
