How do I ship an electric car across the country?
I’m moving soon and I’ll need to take my electric car with me. How do I ship an electric car across the country?
Allison Stone · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
While
electric cars
are great for areas with lots of available charging stations, driving them across the country can prove difficult if you don’t have a route available with lots of dedicated charging stations along the way. In the case that there just aren’t enough chargers to make the journey yourself or that you’d rather not drive it at all, you’ll need to hire a vehicle transport company.
Thankfully the process of shipping an electric car is not much different than any other car, but you may incur extra fees as electric cars tend to be heavier than gas-powered cars. The company may also need to take extra precautions to ensure the safety of your car in transit due to the sensitive nature of EVs lithium-ion batteries.
Car shipping companies have their own insurance to cover your car while it’s being transported, but it’s not a bad idea to have a
comprehensive insurance policy
anyway. Jerry
can not only help you compare plans and rates from 55+ top-rated insurance providers in seconds, but it can also make sure you’re getting the best insurance possible for the price. Jerry will even send you new quotes every time your policy comes up for renewal, so you’re always getting the coverage you want at the best price.
