It is reported that in order to strengthen the safety supervision of new energy vehicles, the "China Insurance Industry Association New Energy Vehicle Commercial Insurance Exclusive Clauses (Trial)" was officially launched. The clause requires all new energy vehicles to be insured with the corresponding new energy vehicle insurance, and with the implementation of the provisions, the price of new energy vehicle insurance also rose immediately, some Tesla owners said that only two days late to buy, the same model of premium from the previous 8278 yuan per year rose sharply to 14902 yuan per year, an increase of up to 80%, such a high increase also let some new energy owners directly call "the fuel cost of the province has been given insurance."

In response to the general increase in the premium of new energy vehicles, WEILAI previously released an explanation on the exclusive insurance of new energy vehicles on the official App, and prompted users to choose a worry-free service or insurance worry-free product according to their own car use. This move has been interpreted by many as Weilai or will launch exclusive new energy vehicle insurance services, but this news has not been confirmed by Weilai's official. However, it is reported that NIO is conducting an internal evaluation on the topic, and the establishment of a new insurance brokerage company may mean that the possibility of NIO launching captive insurance will further increase.
