EV 在家充电起火,火险一定赔吗?If an EV Charging at Home Causes a Fire, Will Fire Insurance Definitely Cover It?
Recently, there have been news reports about house fires caused by EV charging. Many people are asking 👇
👉 “I already bought fire insurance, it should be covered, right?”
Answer: Not necessarily.
⚠️ Why might it not be covered?
- Charger is non-original or modified
- Socket or wiring cannot support the electrical load
- EV or wallbox not declared in the policy
- Considered improper use of electricity
👉 Insurance companies will assess the cause of the fire + whether everything was properly declared
✅ When are you more likely to be covered?
✔️ Using certified charging equipment
✔️ Installed by a qualified electrician
✔️ EV / charging equipment declared in your fire insurance
Many people don’t realize: EV-related equipment is NOT automatically included in fire insurance.
💡 Reminder: Fire insurance is not about “just having it” — it’s about having the right coverage and proper declaration.
