Why our Class 1 cover suits the Honda Accord e:HEV

e:HEV technology needs different care. Here is the peace of mind you get with PrakanEV.

Built for the e:HEV drivetrain

The Honda Accord e:HEV combines an engine, an electric motor and a high-voltage battery. Our policies are designed to cover damage to all of these parts.

100% Hybrid Battery Cover

For hybrid cars, battery cover does not step down by year, so it is covered at 100% of the sum insured.

⚠️ Note: only battery damage from an accident is covered. Failure that is not caused by an accident cannot be claimed (use the manufacturer warranty).

Cover for damage to your car

  • If you hit another vehicle
  • If another vehicle hits you
  • Single-vehicle accidents (no other party)
  • If you hit an object or an animal
  • If the car is stolen or catches fire
  • Natural disasters (including flood)
  • Glass damage: repair or replacement
  • Towing after an accident to the nearest repair shop

What Honda Accord e:HEV owners often worry about

Hybrids have more electrics, batteries and sensors than regular cars, so choosing the right insurance really matters.

A long, wide D-segment body

The Accord is known for a roomy cabin and long wheelbase, so tight U-turns and double parking carry more risk of clipping the bumper corners than with a regular sedan.

Advanced technology and Google built-in

The car is packed with new technology: a large touchscreen, Google built-in and sensors all round. After a serious accident affecting the electrics, parts and system resets must be done by dealer specialists.

An executive car that travels long distances

Many Accords are company cars on inter-provincial trips, so high-speed accidents and stone chips on the windscreen and LED headlights are more likely than for city-only cars.

Honda Accord e:HEV Insurance FAQ

The Accord e:HEV has Google built-in. Is the screen covered?▼

If the centre screen or internal electrics are damaged in an accident (for example a crash that cracks the screen), Class 1 covers repair and parts. Software faults on their own are handled under the Honda vehicle warranty.

Does Class 1 cover hybrid battery degradation?▼

Car insurance covers only accident damage. If the battery is damaged in a crash, insurance pays 100%. Wear over time is handled under the manufacturer’s 10-year battery warranty.

How much does a hybrid battery replacement cost?▼

Hybrids have two batteries. The 12V battery for general electrics costs about 1,600 - 4,000 THB depending on the brand. The main hybrid drive battery starts around 70,000 - 80,000 THB and dealer prices can reach the mid-hundreds of thousands (based on average market prices across Toyota and Honda). Class 1 cover for an accident-damaged main battery is well worth having.

Common parts and repair costs

In depth: what Honda Accord e:HEV owners should know before buying insurance

1. Why a flagship deserves 100% dealer repair

With fine assembly and premium noise insulation (NVH), an outside garage may lose that quietness. Honda dealer repair keeps the car as it was on the showroom floor.

2. A sum insured matching a mid-million-baht car

Class 1 for the Accord should always carry a sum insured around 80% of the car’s value, to cover a serious accident or theft.

Claim cases to watch for with the Honda Accord e:HEV

🚨 Misjudged turn: bumper corner scrapes the kerb

With a long nose, a misjudged turn can scrape the lower bumper corner on the kerb. Class 1 with no excess (when the incident is identified) repaints the bumper to look premium again.

🚨 Rear-ending the car in front affects the radar

A rear-end bump can look like a small dent yet throw the SENSING radar out of alignment. The dealer replaces parts and recalibrates, all covered under Class 1.

100% battery cover and 10-month installments

If the Honda Accord e:HEV high-voltage hybrid battery is damaged in an accident, our policies cover it at 100% (up to the sum insured) with no step-down depreciation (battery wear with age is claimed under the Honda warranty). You can also pay the premium in 10 interest-free cash installments to spread the cost.
