In its guide, titled "Electric Car Battery Accident Insurance Coverage & Settlements Explained," Ev Accident Pro also delves into the types of battery accidents covered by insurance and the process of filing a claim with the owner's insurance carrier.
"Replacing an electric car battery can cost anywhere between $5,000 to $20,000, depending on the make and model of your vehicle. With such a significant expense, relying on insurance can make a huge difference," Ev Accident Pro says.
The EV expert recommends drivers opt for a comprehensive insurance policy as it features coverage for all types of accidents that are not generally included in standard collision insurance, such as battery-related accidents. Such a policy would typically cover battery-related damages resulting from collisions, thermal runaway, electrical issues during charging, or destruction resulting from environmental factors such as flooding or fire.
EV owners are also encouraged to explore the add-ons available for an extra premium, such as charging equipment coverage, to ensure robust financial protection.
If an EV battery accident occurs, EV Accident Pro advises owners to notify their insurer about the mishap immediately. They also need to collect all essential paperwork, including accident reports, photographs of the damage, receipts for emergency repairs or towing services, and to adhere to their insurance provider's procedure for submitting a claim, which may involve an evaluation by a claims adjuster.
"Your insurance company will assess the damage to your electric car's battery and provide a settlement offer based on their evaluation," the guide explains. "It's important to understand that you have the right to negotiate this offer, especially if you feel it doesn't cover the full extent of the damage."
The expert also shares several examples of EV battery malfunction cases with favorable outcomes provided by readers. In one of the cases, the driver experienced a sudden battery failure while on a regular drive. Thanks to the battery accident add-on in their insurance plan, the insurance company handled all expenses for battery replacement and labor, allowing them to get back on the road without paying anything out-of-pocket.
