Insurance protection: comprehensive insurance for electric cars - this is what matters

The Bund der Versicherten (BdV) advises electric vehicle owners to take out a comprehensive comprehensive insurance policy. The BdV experts recommend an all-risk coverage for the battery, which should be insured at its new value and include disposal costs in the event of a total loss. The policy should also cover consequential damage from animal bites up to at least 20,000 euros and short-circuit damage up to at least this amount.

Additionally, insurance against damage from overvoltage or operating errors, as well as breakdown assistance and protection for a wallbox, are considered sensible.
