Carbon Fiber for the
Electric Age
The silence of electric torque meets the raw aggression of woven carbon. Unlock theoretical range limits and aerodynamic supremacy with DuneCarb's definitive guide to next-gen lightweighting.
Analyze The PerformanceThe Engineering Imperative
Why carbon fiber is not just cosmetic for the modern EV platform.
The Mass Problem
EV batteries are heavy. A typical 100kWh pack adds massive curb weight, dulling cornering response. The Solution: Aggressive lightweighting via dry carbon hoods, trunks, and doors sheds critical mass, restoring agility and reducing tire wear.
Drag vs. Range
At highway speeds, aerodynamic drag is the primary enemy of range. The Solution: Wind-tunnel tested carbon diffusers and vortex generators smooth turbulent air, effectively 'stretching' the kWh capacity of your battery pack.
The "Generic" Trap
Efficiency often dictates a uniform, "soap bar" aesthetic in stock EVs. The Solution: Exposed weave carbon fiber introduces a necessary brutality and technical sophistication, separating your build from the ride-sharing fleet.

FEATURED PROJECT
Project: Silent Apex
We took a Tesla Model S Plaid and asked a simple question: What happens when you remove the luxury dampening and replace it with aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon?
The result is a track weapon that defies physics. By replacing the hood, trunk, fenders, and interior door cards with structural carbon, we shaved valuable seconds off the lap time at Inde Motorsports Ranch.
