Yes. Due to the significant difficulty in extinguishing lithium battery fires, insurance companies typically charge 20%-40% higher rates for comprehensive coverage on used EVs compared to ICE vehicles. Additionally, the absolute deductible for minor scratches on the body will also be increased accordingly.
Pure electric vehicles are classified as Class 9 Dangerous Goods due to their large lithium batteries, leading to strict shipping regulations. Shipping companies have high requirements for the loading position and fire isolation measures for dangerous goods, and some roll-on/roll-off ships refuse to accept used EVs. As a result, EVs often require more expensive special container shipping and incur additional handling fees for hazardous materials.
