Expert cover for EVs

We know that the transition to Electric Vehicles is here.  Licencing authorities across the UK have committed to having fully electric fleets of private and public hire vehicles by 2030, with Uber promising to have a fully electric fleet in London by 2025.  Recent fuel price rises, which looks to be with us for some time, may be motivating many professional drivers to switch to an EV. 

In this blog post we demonstrate how our EV product can address some of the key concerns drivers may have about transitioning to an EV. 

Running out of charge

One of the biggest concerns about the transition to Electric Vehicles is the availability of charging infrastructure and anxiety about running out of charge. 

Positively, the ranges of the new generation of EVs are growing but the availability of charging infrastructure remains a key concern for drivers. 

DCL’s policies can offer additional peace of mind through the EV Rescue add-on which will pick you up and recover your vehicle to the nearest charging point if you run out of charge. 

Being out of pocket following an accident

If you’re involved in an accident you want to be back on the road as soon as possible. 

But if you drive an EV, you could find yourself in a replacement petrol, diesel or hybrid replacement paying for fuel and road charging schemes like the congestion charge following an accident. 

This is why a DCL policy can include the option to have a replacement EV following an accident to ensure that you are not out of pocket whilst your vehicle is being repaired. 

Charge cards and materials

Whether by accident or the malicious activity of others your charge card or charging materials could become lost, stolen or damaged. 

A DCL policy covers you for these items to give you peace of mind that your charging equipment is safe.
