    EV insurance tips

    • Always add Battery Coverage — EV batteries are the most expensive single component (30-40% of car value).
    • Zero Depreciation is strongly recommended for the first 3 years to get full claim settlement without deductions.
    • EVs have fewer moving parts, so own-damage premiums are 15-20% lower than equivalent petrol cars.
    • NCB carries over from your petrol car — ask your insurer to transfer it when you switch to an EV.
    • IRDAI has mandated separate EV insurance guidelines — always verify your policy covers battery and charging equipment.

    How EV insurance works

    IDV-based pricing

    Your premium is based on the Insured Declared Value (ex-showroom minus depreciation). New cars get the highest IDV.

    NCB rewards

    No Claim Bonus gives you 20–50% off your OD premium each year you don't file a claim. It compounds!

    EV-specific benefits

    EVs get lower OD rates than petrol cars and qualify for dedicated battery + charging equipment coverage under IRDAI guidelines.
