What do you do to protect your car from the sun?

I always try to find a shady parking space whenever I need to park for awhile. I have a steering wheel cover, which is a lifesaver. Sometimes I think about getting one of those boards you put on the windshield, or even a full reflective car cover, but I'm not sure if that would be worth it.

I also tend to worry that parking in the sun is bad for my car battery (I have an EV.) Are there any grounds for that worry?

Sounds like quite a project, but effective. How does it stay in the windows, and where do you store it when you're not using it?

I can't speak to your question about EVs, but I will vouch for those exterior windshield shades. They're annoying to put on and take off, but if I'm going to be parked somewhere for a while, I find they're much more effective than the interior shades.
