Electric vehicles are becoming more common on Malaysian roads. With more charging stations appearing in malls, offices, and homes, the way Malaysians drive is changing.
But EV ownership also brings new concerns. Running out of battery mid journey. Damage to a home wall charger. Incidents at public charging stations. These are risks traditional motor insurance was not built to handle.
Recognising this shift, Liberty General Insurance Malaysia has introduced EV 365 Care. The optional add on is designed to provide broader protection that reflects how EV owners actually live and charge today.
Malaysia EV Market Is Expanding Rapidly
Malaysia’s EV ecosystem has grown steadily over the last two years. Government support, such as incentives and investments in charging networks, has made it easier for people to own electric vehicles.
Over the past few years, Malaysia has seen a steady rise in EV registrations, with more drivers choosing electric cars each year since 2023. Charging stations are also cropping up all around the country as part of the government’s objectives for low-carbon transportation.
As more people buy electric vehicles, insurance companies are changing their products. Standard motor policies mainly cover road accidents and theft. EV drivers now require coverage that extends beyond driving.
This is where Liberty General Insurance Malaysia positions EV 365 Care as a response to changing mobility needs.
Insurance Designed for Real EV Living
Unlike petrol vehicles, EVs rely heavily on charging infrastructure. Charging happens at home, in parking lots, and at public hubs.
EV 365 Care extends coverage to support this reality.
Key features include
- 24 hour towing assistance for out of charge situations with unlimited towing to the nearest working charger or the insured home
- Up to RM12000 for loss or damage to a home wall charger
- Personal liability coverage up to RM50000 for third party injury or property damage linked to the charger
The add on also includes compassionate coverage of up to RM5000 for property damage connected to charging incidents.
For portable chargers, coverage of up to RM2000 is provided for repair or replacement due to accidents, fire, lightning, or theft.
This approach reflects how EV ownership is no longer limited to road use alone.
Competitive Landscape in EV Insurance
The insurance industry in Malaysia is getting more competitive as more electric vehicles (EVs) hit the road. A few insurance companies have started to offer EV-related benefits, mostly for battery protection or help on the road.
But full coverage for problems with charging is still pretty new on the market.
As more people buy electric vehicles (EVs), experts in the field say that insurers who make policies that fit how people actually use EVs may have an advantage. Protection for home charging systems and public station accidents fills in the gaps that regular motor plans don’t cover.
It looks like Liberty General Insurance Malaysia is getting ahead of the game in this area as EV drivers look for better protection
Campaign to Encourage Early Adoption
To support the launch, Liberty General Insurance Malaysia is running a campaign until 30 April 2026.
The first 88 customers who purchase selected Liberty motor insurance plans with the EV 365 Care add on may receive EV charging credits worth RM88 on a first come basis.
Such incentives aim to build awareness among new EV buyers who may not yet be familiar with specialised insurance options.
What This Means for Malaysia EV Growth
As Malaysia moves toward greener transport goals, the support ecosystem around EVs must evolve.
A key component of making consumers feel safe about buying products is having insurance. When drivers feel safe at home, on the road, and at public charging stations, it’s easier for them to use new technologies.
EV 365 Care is a sign of a larger trend. Insurance products are becoming more in line with changes in lifestyle and new technologies.
With EV numbers expected to rise further in 2026 and beyond, tailored insurance solutions could become standard rather than optional.
