What is Electric Car Insurance?

What is Electric Car Insurance?

Electric car insurance is a type of insurance policy that covers electric cars. It provides monetary security in the event of accidental damages, burglary, or damage to the covered electric vehicle due to natural or manmade calamities.

The insurance policy considers the unique characteristics of EVs, such as their design, battery packs, and charging framework. Due to higher initial expenses incurred while buying electric vehicles, particularly expensive battery technology, electric car insurance is critical for EV owners. In the case of an accidental damage to your vehicle, EV insurance ensures the expense of repairing or replacing are covered under the insurance coverage.

Why Do Electric Cars Require Specialised Insurance?

Electric cars require specialised insurance due to their unique characteristics. Unlike conventional vehicles, electric cars use advanced battery technology, which can be expensive to repair or replace in case of damage.

Standard insurance policies may not fully cover the high costs associated with electric vehicle components. Specialised insurance for electric cars provides tailored coverage that considers the specific needs of these eco-friendly vehicles. By buying insurance specifically designed for electric cars, owners can ensure adequate financial protection.

Electric Car Insurance: What's Not Covered?

While electric car insurance provides comprehensive coverage for various risks, policyholders must know about certain exclusions. Electric vehicle insurance may come with the following exclusions

Own Damage

If the car owner does not have a comprehensive insurance plan, any damages to the electric vehicle will not be covered. It is essential to opt for comprehensive coverage to ensure protection against own damages, including accidents and collisions.

Alcohol-Impaired Driving

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not covered by electric car insurance. Any damages or liabilities arising from accidents caused by drunk driving will not be eligible for coverage.

Driving Without a Licence

If the driver does not possess a valid licence at the time of the accident that caused the damage, the insurer will not provide coverage. Driving without a valid licence is illegal and will result in the denial of insurance claims.

Consequential Damage

The insurer will not cover any loss or damage to the electric vehicle that did not occur due to direct contact with another vehicle or object while on the road. Damages resulting from indirect causes or events will not be covered.

Intentional Negligence

If the electric vehicle owner intentionally ignores the damage to their car, and it worsens before they decide to get it fixed, the insurer will not provide coverage for the damage. The vehicle owner will have to bear the cost of repair or replacement out of pocket.

Lapsed Insurance Plan

Maintaining active and continuous insurance coverage is crucial. If the electric vehicle insurance policy expires and it is not renewed on time, insurers will not provide any coverage. Any incidents or accidents occurring during the lapsed period will not be covered.

How to Calculate Electric Car Insurance Premiums?

To calculate the premium for electric car insurance, the primary factor taken into consideration is the Insured Declared Value (IDV). The IDV represents the current market value of the electric vehicle and is determined by considering the car's price at the showroom, including any accessories, and adjusting for depreciation per the guidelines of the Insurance Regulatory Authority of India (IRDAI).

Other factors that can influence the premium for electric car insurance include:

To get an accurate premium estimate for electric car insurance, it is recommended to use an Electric Car Insurance Premium Calculator provided. The calculator can provide an instant quote by inputting relevant details about the electric vehicle.

The brand, make, and model of the electric car play a role in determining the premium. High-end electric vehicles may have higher premiums due to their higher replacement and repair costs.

Location

The location where the electric car is primarily driven can impact the premium. High-traffic areas or regions with a higher risk of theft or accidents may have higher premiums.

If the electric car has a history of no claims during previous policy terms, the policyholder may be eligible for a No Claim Bonus. It allows a policyholder to enjoy a discount on the premium during policy renewal. You get up to 50% for not raising claims for 5 consecutive years.

Assess the insurer's customer support services, including their responsiveness to queries and assistance during the claims process.

Policy duration

Decide on the policy duration, whether you want one year or multi-year coverage, keeping in mind the long-term benefits.
