Britam General Insurance has launched a new electric vehicle (EV) insurance cover in Kenya, addressing concerns like high battery costs and limited charging infrastructure. This initiative supports Kenya's shift towards green mobility, aligning with the government's target for EVs to constitute 5% of new vehicle registrations by 2025.

• The new cover includes a Battery Protect Cover Extension, safeguarding the most valuable component of an EV, and an out-of-charge recovery service.
• Britam General Insurance is the key organization involved, with James Mbithi, CEO and Principal Officer, highlighting its role in meeting evolving customer needs and supporting sustainable transport.
• Premiums are designed to be affordable with flexible payment options, and the cover also extends to privately used electric motorcycles.
