Do New Energy Vehicles Need Compulsory Traffic Insurance?

New energy vehicles also require compulsory traffic insurance, as it is the only insurance mandated by the state for normal road use. Without it, according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the traffic management department of the public security authorities will impound the vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, certificate, or complete the necessary procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for bodily injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents within the liability limits. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies depending on the vehicle type, primarily influenced by the number of seats. Compared to the over 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party insurance, compulsory traffic insurance covers a much broader range, including losses caused by intentional actions of the victim, the insured's own property losses, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses from accidents. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limits without any deductible or exemption. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and corporate digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurance company. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the official written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. It must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the insurance policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract. The insurance policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof labels; Time-saving and convenient, unrestricted by time or location, with information readily available online anytime, quickly and easily; Allows for reissuance and resending, eliminating worries about losing it. If a paper version is needed offline, it can also be printed or mailed; Easy management, as electronic unification makes it convenient for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of various vehicles.

I found many people mistakenly think green license plate vehicles can save on compulsory traffic insurance, which is a huge misunderstanding! Just the other day, my cousin bought an electric car and specifically asked the insurance company. Whether it's a pure electric or hybrid, as long as it's a vehicle on the road, the state mandates the purchase of compulsory traffic insurance. If you don't buy it and get caught by traffic police, your car will be impounded and you'll face a fine of twice the premium. This year's premium of 950 yuan can cover up to 18,000 yuan in medical expenses and 1,800 yuan in property damage for the other party, equivalent to trading a hot pot meal for peace of mind all year. Old Wang's electric car next door hit someone last week, and the compulsory traffic insurance covered 8,000 yuan in medical expenses. If he had to pay out of pocket, it would have hurt for half a year.

I've handled quite a few accident vehicles at my repair shop, and those owners who didn't purchase compulsory traffic insurance deeply regret it. With new energy vehicles' rapid acceleration, they're more prone to accidents when darting out in urban areas. Last month, a Tesla without insurance hit a pedestrian, and the medical expenses wiped out half a year's salary for the owner. Remember, folks: new energy is just a different propulsion method, but compulsory insurance is still a must. It's advisable to have the 4S dealership handle it when picking up the car—the price is fixed and hassle-free. If you're really strapped for cash, at least get this basic 950-yuan coverage; it's much more cost-effective than commercial insurance!

As a user of two electric cars in my household, I never dare to skip the compulsory insurance renewal every year. New energy vehicles save fuel but not responsibility—this expense really can't be skipped. Last week, while dropping my child off at school, I saw an uninsured electric van scrape another car and flee, only to be caught on camera and directly penalized with a 12-point deduction. In reality, the 950-yuan premium breaks down to just 2.6 yuan per day, cheaper than charging fees. More pragmatically, without this insurance policy, you can't even pass the annual inspection—temporarily paying the overdue fee later will also affect renewal discounts, essentially digging your own grave.

From a legal perspective, Article 98 of the Road Traffic Safety Law is crystal clear: Any motor vehicle (including new energy vehicles) must have compulsory traffic insurance to operate on public roads. Last year, a local court ruled on a typical case where an uninsured electric tricycle injured a pedestrian. The owner was not only required to fully compensate 130,000 yuan in medical expenses but also fined 1,900 yuan. It is advisable to process compulsory traffic insurance and license plate registration simultaneously when purchasing a vehicle. Nowadays, mobile apps allow direct policy renewal—just enter the VIN, and it's done in three minutes. Never take chances with this matter.

New energy vehicle owners should be most meticulous about range and charging costs, while compulsory traffic insurance is a mandatory expense that cannot be saved. I have a dedicated column in my expense tracker for car insurance costs, and I found that electric vehicle compulsory insurance is priced exactly the same as fuel vehicles, with no discounts whatsoever. The insurance coverage is divided into three liability tiers: up to 180,000 for injuring someone, 18,000 for medical expenses, and 2,000 for property damage. Especially for ride-hailing drivers, traffic inspectors first check the insurance policy during inspections. Last week, a driver I met while taking a ride said that the platform would directly suspend accounts if compulsory insurance photos were missing during review, resulting in even greater losses!
