The Secrets Behind EV Insurance — and the Updates You Never See Coming
Description
Think your car insurance only cares about accidents and repairs? Think again. With electric cars, even a tiny software update could land you with a surprise bill.
In this episode of Electric Car Chat, I reveal the shocking case of Tesla driver Chris Yearsley — charged £94 by his insurer simply for reporting a harmless over-the-air update. Only after public outcry did the company back down.
But that’s just the beginning. You’ll discover:
⚡ Why insurers may demand you report every software update — and what happens if you don’t.
⚡ The cybersecurity risks of wireless car updates, and how hackers could exploit them.
⚡ How connected cars are moving toward automatic payments for tolls, parking, and even fines.
⚡ Your options if you’d rather stick to supervised, wired updates at a service centre.
The digital evolution of vehicles brings incredible convenience — but also hidden traps and new risks. Whether you drive electric or a connected ICE vehicle, this is one episode you can’t afford to skip.
