FAQ

Your questions answered.

Why can EV insurance be different?

Electric vehicles use battery systems, high-voltage components and vehicle-specific technology that can affect assessment and repair considerations. The significance of those factors varies by vehicle, damage and insurer.

What does EV insurance cover?

Cover depends on the insurer, policy wording, selected options, exclusions, limits and eligibility. Read the applicable product documentation before acquiring cover.

Can I enquire about EV insurance through EVITAL?

Yes. You can submit an EV insurance enquiry to EVITAL. An enquiry is not an insurance application, quote, recommendation or confirmation of cover.
