What your EV policy really covers

1

Traction battery

Covered by Chapter B (Damage) for any accidental event. Manufacturer’s warranty covers manufacturing defects (8 years / 160,000 km).

2

Mobile terminal supplied with the vehicle

Automatically covered as an accessory to the vehicle (endorsement 41 or 43 depending on the insurer).

3

Fixed 240 V charging station at home

Covered by the home policy as a fixed equipment. Declare the installation to your home insurer.

4

Personal cables and adapters

Check the personal accessory limit in your car policy — often $500-$1,500. Enough for most cases.

💡

Our recommended EV combo

FPQ 5 + telematics + certified anti-theft + fixed charging station declared to the home policy. Accumulating EV rebates (5-10%) + manufacturer (5%) + telematics (10-25%) can bring your premium to a level comparable to or lower than an equivalent gasoline SUV.

Don’t forget to declare the fixed terminal

A 240 V charging station permanently installed without declaration to the home insurer may not be covered in the event of a fire (often related to non-compliant installations). Adding to the file is free or $20-50/year depending on the value.

Frequently asked questions about EV insurance

Is electric car insurance more expensive than a petrol car?
In 2026, insuring an electric vehicle (EV) is still 10-25% more expensive than an equivalent gasoline model. The main cause: repair costs ($15,000-40,000 battery, sensors, smart bumpers). The gap is narrowing every year as body shops specialize.
How much does it cost to insure a Tesla Model Y in 2026 in Quebec?
For a 40-year-old driver with a good record, the Tesla Model Y Long Range ($65,000) typically costs $1,800-2,400/year in 2026 in Quebec, compared to $1,400-1,800 for an equivalent gasoline SUV. The FPQ 5 replacement value adds $250-400/year.
How much does it cost to insure a Hyundai Ioniq 5 in 2026?
The Ioniq 5 ($55,000) typically costs $1,500-2,100/year in Quebec. Less than Tesla because parts are more available and repair costs are slightly lower. Hyundai’s own EV rebate + the Assur360 manufacturer rebate can reduce the premium by 8-12%.
How much does it cost to insure a Ford F-150 Lightning?
The F-150 Lightning ($80-95,000) typically costs $2,200-3,000/year in 2026 in Quebec. More expensive than a gasoline F-150 because of the high value and the battery. The FPQ 5 is almost mandatory for this model — total loss at new $90,000.
Are there any discounts specific to electric vehicles?
Some insurers offer 5-10% EV discounts to encourage the transition. Our Assur360 brokers also negotiate manufacturer discounts (Tesla Insurance, Ford Insure) and the telematics discount (Intact Drive, Ajusto) — cumulative up to 20-25% combined.
Is my home charging station covered by home insurance?
Yes, a permanently installed 240-volt charging station is covered by the home policy as a fixed equipment. Charging station cost $800-2,500 + installation $500-1,500. Declare the installation to your insurer to validate the coverage (fire, theft, vandalism, lightning).
Is the EV battery covered by the car policy?
Yes, the traction battery is considered an integral part of the vehicle and covered by Chapter B (damage) of your car policy. Please note: the manufacturer’s warranty (often 8 years/160,000 km) covers defects, not accidental damage — your car policy covers that.
Does an EV require a special addendum for the mobile charging station?
The mobile charging station that comes with the vehicle is included as an accessory in the auto policy (often automatic 41 or 43 rider depending on the insurer). A 240 V mobile charging station purchased separately ($400-1,200) is covered as a personal accessory — check the limit with your broker.
