ईव्ही कार इन्श्युरन्सच्या लाभांसह स्वत:ला परिपूर्ण बनवा

तुम्हाला इलेक्ट्रिक कार इन्श्युरन्स पॉलिसी मिळवणे आवश्यक आहे का?

According to the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988, it is mandatory for you to get a third-party liability for your car. The requirement extends to your electric car as well. However, it is not mandatory to get comprehensive coverage for your vehicle. Nonetheless, it is advisable to get it, especially if you seek financial coverage against the possibility of an unfortunate accident. To completely grasp the importance of car insurance for an EV, you need to understand how insurance works. Suppose any damage were to befall your car. Repairs would cost a significant amount and, possibly, burn a hole in your savings. When you have insurance, your savings remain relatively unaffected. The insurance provider, based on your policy details, will provide you coverage for the cost of repairs. Similarly, a third-party policy will protect you against having to pay for any damages to another person’s vehicle. Hence, while getting a comprehensive policy may not be mandatory, it is in your best interest to buy one.

Add-Ons to Enhance Your EV Car Insurance Coverage

Add-ons are additional features that are available with your e-car insurance on an optional basis. These additional features can help you fine-tune the policy coverage to personalise it based on your needs. Here are some add-ons that you can choose –

Add-Ons to Enhance Your EV Car Insurance Coverage

झिरो-डेप्रीसिएशन कव्हर:

Zero-depreciation add-on, also known as bumper-to-bumper cover, is an add - on that helps cover depreciation, which is a part of the general exclusions for your EV insurance policy. Using the zero-depreciation add-on, your claim amount will not deduct the depreciation on the components at the time of its reimbursement.

मोटर प्रोटेक्टर कव्हर:

For electric cars, the motor is the most crucial part-the heart of your vehicle. However, due to the limitations of a standard policy, these repairs are not a part of the standard e-car insurance coverage. Hence, a motor protector cover is what will help you take care of the necessary repairs. In addition, any repairs to the motor may burn a hole in your wallet. Using the motor protector add-on cover, repairs concerning the motor of your EV are covered by the insurance company.

24X7 रोडसाईड असिस्टन्स कव्हर:

कन्झ्युमेबल्स ॲड-ऑन कव्हर:

Buying an EV car and maintaining one are two separate things. While it may be straightforward to buy one, it is equally challenging to keep up with its maintenance - maybe not financially, but in terms of changing spares and components. In the process, at times, these replacements, if neglected, can adversely impact the overall performance of your car. Hence, timely replacement of necessary fluids and components is essential. With a consumables add-on cover, this replacement becomes a worry-free experience, since your electric car policy covers the various expenses.

Factors That Determine Your EV Insurance Premium

An EV car insurance is a no one-size-fits-all product. Thus, you and your friend, despite having the same car, may have different premium amounts. Many factors impact the premium calculation in tandem.

Here are some parameters that impact the premium of your EV insurance policy:

1. Type of Car:

The model and make of your EV car have a direct correlation to its premium. Insurance companies maintain a separate report of claim ratios of different models from various manufacturers. Thus, insurers have a statistical approach to deciding the risk for your car. Depending on the risk, the premium is decided by the insurance company. Further, luxury cars and high-end models have a higher premium compared to mid-range and low-end counterpart

2.Insured Declared Value:

Insured Declare Value or IDV is the maximum amount which the insurance company compensates in the event of complete loss or total loss. Thus, the IDV of your car is the maximum compensation that shall be paid by the insurer. Since IDV is the maximum amount which the insurer underwrites, it has a direct relation to the electric car policy’s premium. Thus, the higher the IDV, the higher will be the resulting premium, and vice versa. 

3. Geographical Zone:

The location of your EV car’s registration has an impact on the electric car policy’s premium. This is because India is divided into two zones - Zone A comprising eight metro cities of Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Pune and Zone B comprising the rest of India. Since there is a higher risk of damage to the vehicles in congested metro regions, the risk underwritten is higher, pushing up the premiums.

4. अ‍ॅड-ऑन कव्हर्स:

As discussed above, add-on covers are optional riders that enhance your electric car policy’s coverage. Since they cover those aspects that aren’t included in the standard policy’s scope, they impact the premium. Depending on how many add-ons you choose, your premium gets impacted. . 

5.No-Claim Bonus:

No-claim bonus or NCB is a concession offered by the insurance company for not raising any claim during the previous policy period. As the NCB considers the previous policy period as a basis for the markdown in premium, it is available from the time second-year premiums begin. With the NCB benefit, you can reduce your overall insurance outflow from 20% to all the way up to 50%, based on consistent claim-free policy renewals.

6. Voluntary Excess:

Every EV insurance policy has a mandatory amount of deductible known as the standard or compulsory deductible. This deductible amount is required to be paid by the policyholder at the time of every claim. However, voluntary excess or deductible is the amount required to be paid by you, the policyholder, over and above the standard deductible. Depending on the amount of voluntary excess a policyholder chooses, a concession is available in calculating the premiums.

7. Security accessories:

Security features that enhance the safety levels of the car tend to impact the electric car policy premium positively. Since these features lower the overall risk, they contribute to bringing down the premium.

8. Special Concessions:

Other than the above reasons, your electric car policy premium may go down due to certain special concessions, which can be in the form of associations to a recognised automobile association, having anti-theft devices fitted to your EV car, and opting for voluntary excess.

Basis of Arriving at Insured Declared Value (IDV) of the Insured Vehicle:

List of products specified in the list above are governed by the Indian Motor Tariff. 

The Insured’s Declared Value (IDV) of the vehicle will be deemed to be the ‘Sum Insured’ and it will be fixed at the commencement of each policy period for each insured vehicle.

The IDV of the vehicle (and accessories if any fitted to the vehicle) is to be fixed on the basis of the manufacturer’s listed selling price of the brand and model of the insured vehicle at the commencement of the Policy. The IDV shall change according to the depreciation grid below for each block of one year within the policy period. 

THE SCHEDULE OF DEPRECIATION FOR FIXING IDV OF THE VEHICLE

The IDV arrived as per the above method may be further adjusted basis various factors such as location, make and model etc, with agreement of the Insured and as captured in the Policy Schedule.

The age-wise depreciation schedule shown above is applicable only for Total Loss/Constructive Total Loss (TL/CTL)/Cash Loss claims.

IDV of vehicles beyond 5 years of age and for obsolete models (i.e. models that manufacturers have discontinued) is to be determined on the basis of mutual agreement between the Insurer and the Insured.

IDV shall be treated as the Market Value throughout the Policy Period without any further depreciation for the purpose of Total Loss (TL)/Constructive Total Loss (CTL)/Cash loss claims.

Basis of Arriving at TL (Total Loss)/CTL (Constructive Total Loss) of the Insured Vehicle:

The insured vehicle shall be treated as a CTL if the aggregate cost of retrieval and/or repair of the vehicle, exceeds 75% of the IDV of the vehicle, subject to terms and conditions of the policy.

The liability of the Company shall not exceed the Insured's Declared Value (IDV) of the vehicle in the event of total loss/ constructive total loss/cash loss for the year in which loss has occurred. IDV as on date of loss shall be computed as specified under basis of arriving at Insured Declared Value (IDV)

If a damaged motor vehicle is assessed as being unrepairable and hence a wreck i.e. a ‘total loss’ or ‘write-off’, You shall have the option to retain the wreck and accept a ‘cash loss’ settlement (being the IDV less the assessed value of Salvage based on competitive quotes procured by the Insurer including any submitted by or through the Policyholder).

Note: For the purpose of computation TL (Total Loss)/CTL (Constructive Total Loss) of the Insured Vehicle aggregate cost of retrieval shall mean Company’s aggregate liability as per the terms and conditions of the policy.
