Who Needs Electric Car Insurance?
All electric vehicle owners are required to have electric car insurance. In Ontario, it is legally required to have insurance coverage for any vehicle you own to protect against potential claims. This requirement applies universally, whether you drive a gas-powered, electric, or hybrid car.
If you already own a vehicle, you likely already have car insurance. Switching to electric vehicle insurance can be as straightforward as any other vehicle change you’ve made before. To ensure you have the necessary coverage and explore additional options, contact Duliban Insurance Brokers.
What Is Considered An Electric Car?
An electric car is powered by an electric motor and batteries, which must be charged through a wall outlet or a charging station. These Plug-in Electric Vehicles (EVs) need a regular connection to an EV charger to recharge their batteries. An example of an electric car is a Tesla.
All-electric cars differ from plug-in hybrid electric cars (PHECs). PHECs use an internal combustion engine powered by gasoline and batteries to run an electric motor. When the electric batteries deplete, the vehicle switches to the gasoline engine.
There are various makes and models of electric vehicles on the market, each offering different ranges before the battery needs recharging. Ontario is seeing an increase in public charging stations, enhancing charging convenience. Charging times for electric vehicles can vary based on many factors.
Benefits of Electric Auto Insurance
