You can get insurance for EVs and hybrids provided they meet underwriting guidelines.

Car insurance provides cover if your car causes damage to someone else’s property if you are responsible and, depending on the level of cover you choose, provides cover for the repair or replacement of your car when it is stolen or damaged. 

Whilst the term car insurance is often used interchangeably with vehicle insurance, they may not be the same. Vehicle insurance may cover a broader range of automotive vehicles such as motorcycles and trucks. When purchasing a policy, it’s best to clarify the type of vehicle being insured to ensure the coverage meets your needs. For more details read the PDS.
