Taking charge of EV insurance
The fear factor of switching to an electric vehicle (EV) doesn’t have to drive you to Stress-town. Have you seen an EV driver? They don’t look particularly frightened. In fact, they look pretty relaxed, even with the power of instant torque sitting at the tip of their toe. Maybe because owning and operating an EV is an easy experience. And insuring one is just as easy.
Just like regular car insurance, with a few differences
Insuring an EV is just like insuring any vehicle. You can do it the same way you’ve always purchased car insurance, whether through a brokerage, insurance agency, or directly with an insurer. Simply explore the policy that suits your unique driving and car ownership needs. Along the way, you’ll encounter EV specific coverages like: loss or damage to your vehicle or battery, charger damage, and liability for battery fires or charger wire trips.
With you today for a better tomorrow
If a commitment to sustainability is your motivation to drive an EV, perhaps you should consider an insurance company driven by sustainability. As one of the first global insurance companies to commit to a Net Zero target, Aviva continues to play a leading role in corporate responsibility. Recognizing the grave threat of climate change, they are taking action for their customers, business, shareholders, and future with goals to:
- become a Net Zero company by 2040
- achieve a 25% reduction in carbon intensity of assets by 2025, and 60% by 2030
- have Net Zero operations and supply chain by 2030
Aviva has fused sustainability in their DNA. In fact, “By the end of 2022 it will divest from all companies which make more than 5% of their revenue from coal unless they have signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative”, and subsequently cultivated partnerships with the renewable energy sector.
Creating a climate of positive change
When you choose to insure an EV, you’re also insuring a more sustainable future. When driving your EV, you’ll help reduce global demand for fossil fuels and the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, therefore decelerating the effects of climate change. Good for you, whether you’re insuring an EV you already own, are in the process of planning the purchase of an EV, or simply open to the possibility of buying one in the future. Every little step will help achieve a climate of positive change the planet needs.
