FAQ

EV insurance questions answered.

Does EV insurance cover battery damage?

Battery cover depends on the insurer, policy wording, cause of damage, exclusions and limits. Review the relevant product documents to understand how a particular policy treats the battery and high-voltage system.

How much does EV insurance cost in Australia?

EV insurance pricing varies by insurer and individual circumstances, including the vehicle, driver history, location, use and selected cover. A licensed insurance provider can confirm current pricing and eligibility.

Can I make an insurance enquiry for a BYD, Tesla, Kia or another EV?

Yes. EVITAL accepts enquiries from owners of a broad range of electric vehicles. Where appropriate, an enquiry may be referred to a relevant licensed insurance provider or intermediary.

What happens if my EV needs repairs after an accident?

Repair requirements depend on the vehicle, damage, manufacturer procedures and the insurance policy. Electric vehicles can require high-voltage safety procedures and EV-capable repair expertise.

Is home charging equipment covered by EV insurance?

Treatment of home charging equipment varies between policies. Check the applicable PDS, policy wording, limits and exclusions to understand whether charging equipment is included.

What is the difference between agreed value and market value?

These are different approaches insurers may use to determine an insured vehicle value. Definitions and claim outcomes depend on the policy, so review the relevant product documentation before acquiring cover.

Do I need specialist EV insurance?

There is no single insurance option that is right for every EV owner. Consider the cover, exclusions, limits, excesses, repair arrangements and eligibility that apply to your vehicle and circumstances.

What is ADAS recalibration?

Advanced driver-assistance systems can use cameras, radar and other sensors that may require inspection or recalibration after certain repairs. The process depends on the vehicle and repair requirements.
