Standard Insurance launches EV car insurance

2026 marked a significant milestone in the automotive industry as electric vehicles (EVs) surged in popularity. Technological advancements made electric vehicles more affordable and easier to maintain, prompting car buyers to consider it an option. In early 2026, as the Middle East War pushed gas prices to unprecedented levels, EV vehicles became mainstream.  

As the number of electric vehicles on the road continue to grow, the need for specialized EV car insurance became apparent. Traditional car insurance policies are not tailored to the unique requirements of EVs, which lead to gaps in coverage and higher out-of-pocket expenses for EV owners. Car insurance plans tailored for electric vehicles addresses these specific needs, offering comprehensive coverage that considers the distinct features and potential risks associated with EVs.  

Standard Insurance recently launched EVantage, a car insurance plan designed for electric vehicles. The plan offers comprehensive coverage and specific benefits like protection for accidental impact leading to the damage of the charging cable or the home charger, 24/7 roadside assistance suited to the needs of an EV, daily transportation allowance while the EV is undergoing repairs for Own Damage, and Green Driving Rewards.

EVantage can be availed through EV dealers, any of the Standard Insurance branches nationwide, or through the Standard Insurance messaging platforms in Facebook or Viber. Interested parties can also get a quotation online through the Standard Insurance website.
