Allianz now offers EV protection for vehicle owners.


Allianz Malaysia has rolled out a groundbreaking solution tailored to meet the unique needs of electric vehicle (EV) owners with the launch of Allianz EV Shield. This innovative offering extends coverage to both battery-powered EV (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) owners, complementing their existing Allianz Private Car (Comprehensive) Individual policy at no extra cost.


Distinguishing itself from traditional insurance products, Allianz EV Shield provides a comprehensive set of benefits specifically curated for the EV ecosystem. One standout feature is the coverage extended to EV charger usage, encompassing both home and public chargers.


Despite rare incidents involving EV chargers, the EV Shield offers up to RM5,000 in compassionate cover for damages or injuries sustained during charging, provided the charger meets regulatory standards and is used as intended.


Moreover, EV owners can find peace of mind with personal liability coverage of up to RM50,000 for third-party bodily injury or death resulting from the use of home wall chargers. This includes coverage for damages to third-party property, further enhancing the safety net provided by Allianz EV Shield.


In recognition of the importance of home charging infrastructure, the EV Shield also safeguards home wall chargers against various perils such as fire, lightning, natural disasters, or theft, with reimbursements of up to RM15,000 for repair or replacement costs. Additionally, coverage extends to portable charging cables, offering protection against loss or damage due to unforeseen events like fire, theft, or accidents.


Beyond insurance coverage, Allianz EV Shield offers practical assistance for EV owners, including access to a 24-hour towing service in the event of a depleted battery. Through the Allianz Road Rangers or Allianz EV Rangers service, EV owners can rest assured knowing that help is just a call away.


For those in the Klang Valley, the Allianz EV Rangers are equipped with mobile EV chargers to provide on-the-spot assistance until drivers can reach a charging station.


The collaboration with Gentari's EV Charge Go underscores Allianz's commitment to offering innovative solutions that cater to the evolving needs of modern motorists. With Allianz EV Shield, electric vehicle owners can navigate the road ahead with confidence, knowing that they are supported by comprehensive coverage and practical assistance every step of the way.
