Electric vehicles get own special insurance policies

Electric car retailer GoinGreen, is today launching a new dedicated insurance scheme especially designed for their Reva G-Wiz products.

The GoinGreen Insurance Services policy has been developed with Heath Lambert, a leading insurance broker, and is underwritten by Chaucer Insurance. It is specifically written for G-Wiz electric vehicles therefore is promoted to offer advantages not found in traditional motoring policies.

Unique benefits of the GoinGreen insurance policy include:
*  Courtesy G-Wiz whilst the owner’s own G-Wiz is under repair
* All repairs undertaken by GoinGreen, the UK’s only manufacturer-authorised G-Wiz repair centre
*  Highly competitive quotes for all London areas including both fully comprehensive  and Third Party, Fire and Theft cover

Steve Hartridge, the managing director of GoinGreen says, “We wanted to extend the benefits received by those choosing emissions-free driving by offering our customers a specially-tailored motoring insurance policy.  GoinGreen has consistently broken the mould with bringing electric vehicles to the streets of London and we are pleased to be continuing this tradition by providing a unique insurance product.”

GoinGreen launched the G-Wiz in May 2004 and there are now over 970 G-Wiz driving around London. The new improved-performance G-Wiz i has a range of up to 48 miles per charge, a certified top speed of 50mph. The G-Wiz is estimated to cost around 1.5p per mile in fuel costs, is exempt from the London Congestion Charge and benefits from free parking and recharging in the City of Westminster (which now has 60 recharging points) . Many other London boroughs are now also installing recharging points and offering incentives for EV owners.

Zap! is one of the first true EV distributors here in the United States that actually has a vehicle to sell. Over the years, however, they have gotten a bad rap. But are these accusations really true? Join us as we explore Zap! — the company and the products. We will even discuss what Zap! is doing RIGHT!
