Insuring your EV | VWFS Blog

You may not have realised it, but the future is coming sooner than we thought.

Electric vehicles are more popular than ever before as consumers become more environmentally conscious and look to reduce fuel costs at a time when the price of petrol and diesel is soaring.

Research from our data insights team found that 41% of the population believe greater accessibility to electric cars is the best way to make transport greener in this country – more preferable than incentivising walking or cycling (37%), incentivising shared vehicles (17%) or accessibility to e-scooters and shared bikes (13%).

Our study also revealed that almost half of us (49%) are open to the idea of buying a used EV, even though this sector of the market is still in its infancy.

We know that customers are gravitating towards vehicles with the shortest lead times, due to current supply chain delays affecting the manufacturing of new cars.

And as the UK prepares for the impending 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales, the EV market is expected to grow exponentially.

That’s why, with many manufacturers and retailers looking to focus their attention on the transition to electric, a comprehensive insurance goes hand-in-hand with your new vehicle.

At Volkswagen Financial Services UK, we understand the importance of peace of mind, and all the benefits a premium-class insurance policy can offer.
