What's electric car insurance?

Electric car insurance is just car insurance, which has some extra features designed to protect your electric or hybrid vehicle.

Our comprehensive insurance includes some handy benefits, like protection for your charging equipment and out of charge recovery if your EV runs out of battery on the road.

Looking for just the basics? Our Third party only cover will pay out to the other driver if you're in an accident, but doesn't include these features.
