The insurance claim for the repair and replacement expenses was significantly higher than a conventional vehicle repair, emphasising the necessity for specialised coverage for EVs. In conclusion, while lithium-ion batteries offer numerous benefits, they also present insurance risks that should not be overlooked.
Insurers should remain alive to the growing risk of product liability claims and litigation arising from greater consumer awareness of the safety of lithium-ion batteries in conjunction with well-publicised product recalls. Safe lithium-ion battery production is a priority for the UK Government.
Insurers should remain alive to the increasing risk of product liability claims and litigation arising from lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are a common source of energy across a wide range of consumer products, with users benefiting from their portability, long lifespan and fast charging times.
This session [access our summary of the APICI session] has tried to explain the risks of using this type of lithium-ion batteries, the causes that lead to Thermal Runaway or overheating and the safety measures that should be studied according to the use for which they are intended.
In the UK, manufacturers and suppliers will be strictly liable under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 for defective lithium-ion batteries that have caused injury or death to a consumer or damage to private property. Producers may also be strictly liable for defective lithium-ion batteries they have sourced and incorporated into their products.
Safe lithium-ion battery production is a priority for the UK Government. Its recently published UK battery strategy emphasises the importance of improving their design to minimise the risk of cell fires that can occur under conditions of mechanical, thermal or electrical stress.
