Electric Vehicle Service Contracts & EV Battery Protection

Electric vehicles are no longer a trend — they’re a fast-growing segment of the automotive market that dealerships can’t afford to overlook. Elite FI Partners offers Electric Vehicle Service Contracts with true exclusionary coverage, including critical components like the battery, charging system, and electric drive units. Backed by Tesla expertise and a specialized claims process, these programs provide peace of mind for your customers and profitable opportunities for your dealership.

Exclusionary Coverage for Electric Vehicles

Our EV service contracts provide exclusionary coverage, offering protection on nearly every component with only limited exclusions. This means customers enjoy confidence knowing even advanced systems like regenerative braking and onboard electronics are covered. For dealerships, exclusionary programs simplify presentation and deliver higher value in every deal.

Battery and Charging System Protection

The EV battery is the single most expensive component of an electric vehicle. Elite FI Partners’ service contracts include battery and charging system coverage, ensuring customers are protected from high-cost repairs or replacements. This coverage extends to electric drive units, power control modules, and other specialized EV systems — making your dealership the go-to source for comprehensive EV protection.

Specialized Claims Process for Tesla and Leading EV Brands

We understand the unique requirements of EV repairs, especially with brands like Tesla. Our specialized claims process ensures fast, accurate adjudication and access to experienced adjusters who know EV technology. This reduces downtime for customers, minimizes disputes, and enhances your dealership’s reputation for service excellence.

Additional Customer Benefits

Beyond core coverage, our EV service contracts include:

  • Roadside assistance for unexpected breakdowns

  • Rental car reimbursement to keep customers moving

  • Trip interruption coverage for added peace of mind

These added benefits create a premium ownership experience and build long-term loyalty to your dealership.
