Do You Need Truck Insurance Policy for Your Electric Truck?

We have understood that electric vehicles operate very differently compared to any petrol or diesel fuel type of vehicle. As per the law, all commercial vehicles, including electric trucks, must have at least a third-party liability truck insurance policy under the online commercial vehicle insurance policy. If you do not hold any mandatory third-party truck insurance coverage for your electric truck, it can lead to hefty monetary penalties.

However, having this plan will protect the own-damages to the insured electric truck. That is why it is always a good idea to opt for a truck insurance policy since it offers the benefits of both plans i.e. third-party insurance and own damage (OD) cover, under your online commercial vehicle insurance.

Conclusion

If you were seeking powerful electric truck models in India, this is the perfect time to make your next purchase a great success. We have given above the five most popular electric trucks along with their price and specifications. Also, you must have a truck insurance policy to protect your electric truck from any financial burden that might arise due to unforeseen circumstances.
