Zurich Australia says it is the ‘preferred’ insurer for Tesla customers in Australia through its ‘InsureMyTesla’ agreement.
Through the new arrangement, existing and new Tesla owners can access the ‘InsureMyTesla’ EV offering, provided solely by Zurich using its ‘Edge’ technology, directly through the Tesla app, says Zurich.
“EV uptake in Australia is rapidly growing as consumers continue to recognise the importance of lowering their environmental impact,” says Zurich Australia and New Zealand chief executive Justin Delaney.
“With InsureMyTesla, Tesla ownership becomes even more secure, giving more Australians the confidence to switch to electric vehicles,” says Tesla Australia and New Zealand country director Thom Drew.
Among other benefits, ‘InsureMyTesla’ covers vehicle repairs including glass, charging equipment and batteries using Tesla’s accredited repair network. The product is available to all Tesla Model 3 and Model Y customers through the Tesla App, says Zurich.
Zurich says it has served as Tesla’s preferred insurance provider in Switzerland since 2016, Insurance Business reports.
