Why Should You Buy Electric Car Insurance?

Why Should You Buy Electric Car Insurance?

You can’t predict what might happen to your precious electric car. So, having electric car insurance can be a great help and offer financial protection in an unfortunate event. You must also keep in mind that having at least third-party car insurance is mandatory in India.

Here's why you should get electric car insurance India:

Coverage for Your Electric Car: EV insurance for electric cars acts as a safety net and protects your car in unforeseen circumstances. Under the Comprehensive Policy, you get coverage for your own damage liabilities, while in a situation where you have caused an injury or damage to a third-party, it will be covered under third-party policy.

Compliance with the Law: Getting an electric vehicle insurance for your car will also help you comply with the law to drive electric cars on Indian roads.

Protection Against Repair Costs: Since electric vehicles are comparatively new in the Indian market, the cost of repairing electric motors and other EV-specific components can more than for fuel-run cars. Therefore, having EV insurance for electric cars helps take care of these costs.

Coverage for Specific EV Requirements: EV insurance also covers specific requirements related to electric vehicles such as electric motors, batteries, and charging systems, depending upon your insurer.

Peace of Mind: Having car insurance for your electric vehicle also ensures peace of mind as you get financial security in case of any unfortunate event.

Car insurance premiums for private electric cars are based on many factors, like kilowatt capacity, make, model, and age.

However, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has fixed the electric car insurance rates for the mandatory third-party electric car insurance in India. So, the new electric cars in India are already covered under 3rd party policy for three years.
