Electric car insurance
Your electric car insurance needs covered
Plug into a brighter future with our car insurance for your electric and hybrid vehicles. And we’ll be by your side for every mile you take.
You don’t need specialist insurance. Our standard car insurance will cover your electric vehicle and give the type of specific protection you need – we cover stolen batteries to damaged charging cables.
Helping you to flip the switch on a better tomorrow. It takes Aviva.
Out of charge recovery
If your electric vehicle runs out of charge, an RAC mechanic will come out and either charge your battery to get you to a working charging point, or transport you, your vehicle and your passengers to a working charging point or your home. Whichever is closer. [1]Footnote 1
Accidental damage protection
We’ll be there for you if your car is lost or damaged, including if it’s damaged by electrical surge while charging.
Electric vehicle accessories covered
We cover accessories such as charging cables, in your vehicle or while in use, as well as wallbox chargers installed in your garage.
Add more cars – it doesn’t matter if they’re electric or not – and you could save 10% for every extra vehicle with our Multicar cover. Discount doesn’t apply to optional extras. [2]Footnote 2
If you’ve got an electric bicycle or scooter, you could get bicycle insurance from our partner Cycleplan.
If your electric charge wallbox is connected to the side of your house, you can get cover to protect it with Aviva Home insurance.
