Why Electric Vehicle Insurance is Crucial for Your EV 

Wondering how electric vehicle insurance will benefit you and your EV? Here are some benefits:

1. Legal compliance 

All motor vehicle owners in India, including EV owners, are required to have minimum third-party liability insurance coverage. It protects your finances against third-party liabilities in case of accidents.*

2. Coverage against fire 

Unfortunately, incidents of fire among e-scooters are considerably high. Manufacturers are trying their best to come up with better technology. Meanwhile, you can ensure you receive financial compensation in case of fire and related incidents concerning your EV with electric vehicle insurance.*

3. Coverage against natural disasters and theft 

Electric scooters tend to be more lightweight than traditional scooters. While this is an advantage in most situations, it also puts your EV at a higher risk of damage during natural disasters and of theft. By opting for comprehensive EV insurance, you can receive financial protection against these issues as well.*
Furthermore, your Ather 450X insurance or Bajaj Chetak insurance plan also covers emergency situations, such as out-of-energy breakdowns, roadside repair requirements, and more.*
Claims are subject to terms and conditions set forth under vehicle insurance policy.
To get an estimate of the premium of an electric vehicle insurance plan, you can use a bike insurance calculator. This tool gives an approximate premium amount so that you can budget your insurance plan accordingly.
*Standard T&C apply.
Insurance is the subject matter of solicitation. For more details on benefits, exclusions, limitations, terms, and conditions, please read the sales brochure/policy wording carefully before concluding a sale.
