EV Charger Insurance Inquiry
Hi everyone! I’m seeking guidance from those in Reading who have installed street-based EV chargers, especially on terraced roads without driveways. I’ve been informed by RBC that a £2 million public liability insurance cover is required, but they haven’t provided any recommendations on where to get this insurance. If anyone has experience with this or knows of reputable providers, I would greatly appreciate your insights! Thank you!
Hi there! It’s great to see more people in Reading embracing electric vehicles and looking to install chargers. For public liability insurance for on-street EV chargers, I would recommend starting by reaching out to local insurance brokers who specialize in commercial or liability insurance. They can often help tailor a policy to your specific needs.
You might also want to check with some national providers that offer coverage for EV chargers, as some may have specific packages or options for individuals in your situation. Additionally, consider joining local online forums or EV groups on social media; there might be members who have gone through the same process and can share their experiences or recommendations.
Lastly, ensure that you keep records of any communication with the local council and follow any guidelines they provide to ensure compliance with their requirements. Good luck!

Regarding public liability insurance for street-based chargers, it’s important to ensure coverage not only meets RBC’s £2 million requirement but also adequately covers potential third-party damages or injuries. You might consider reaching out to specialists in public liability or event insurance providers who are familiar with infrastructure projects. Companies like Hiscox, Aviva, or even niche providers that focus on green infrastructure could offer tailored policies. Additionally, consulting with local legal or insurance brokers who understand the specific regulations and risks in Reading can help you find comprehensive coverage. Sharing your experiences and any contacts you gather could also benefit others in the community looking to expand EV infrastructure safely and responsibly.
