The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) has contributed to transforming the transportation industry , offering exciting opportunities for more sustainable and cost-effective fleet management. But for businesses operating EV fleets, this transition also introduces new challenges, particularly when it comes to insurance needs. At Vero, we’re pleased to announce the launch of our enhanced Motor Fleet Insurance—with EVs in mind.

Why Fleet Managers Need EV-Specific Insurance

Businesses managing EV vehicles can face different risks compared to those with traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. With advances in technology and the growing reliance on EVs, it’s crucial to have an insurance solution that evolves alongside these changes. The enhancements to Vero’s Motor Fleet Insurance can offer comprehensive protection and peace of mind for organisations as they adapt to the electric revolution.

What’s New in Vero’s Motor Fleet Insurance for EVs?

Our new policy enhancements address risks associated with EVs to provide better coverage. Key improvements include:

  • Charging Risk Coverage: Cover for legal liability while charging an EV at a public or private charging station.
  • Extended New for Old Replacement: We've increased the replacement period from 2 years to 3 years for EVs, ensuring clients gain greater value in the event of a total loss claim.
  • Towing for EVs: Coverage for the reasonable cost of towing an EV (full EVs only) that has run out of charge to the nearest charging station, with no excess applied.
  • New Definitions: Introduced new definitions for terms such as Thermal Runaway and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) to provide better understanding of the coverage

These enhancements underline Vero’s commitment to helping businesses keep up with evolving trends , offering innovative and reliable insurance solutions for the modern challenges of fleet management.
