Electric Car Insurance
Comprehensive cover for electric and hybrid cars
Why insure your electric vehicle with esure?
By choosing our cover you have peace of mind knowing that your car will be protected by one of the UK’s leading insurers.
It’s important to know, electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions. As time goes on, they’ll become a significant factor in reducing climate impact – and esure wants to support customers as they transition to a more sustainable way of getting around.
Our quality Car Insurance products cover a wide range of makes and models, including electric and hybrid cars. We undertake customer testing to understand the wants, needs and expectations of car insurance policy, so we can continue to improve our offering.
Specific benefits to electric and hybrid cars we cover include:
Battery Cover. We’ll handle every part of your claim if your battery is accidentally damaged – to get you back on the road as soon as possible. That’s regardless of whether the battery’s owned or leased.
Power Cable Cover. This covers electric charge cables whilst used in connection with charging your vehicle - providing you with peace of mind that your vehicle accessories are insured.
