Insuring the Forthing 7 REEV – when the drivetrain overwhelms tariff software
Drive electric, with a petrol engine as generator: the Forthing 7 REEV's range-extender concept is clever – but fits no standard field in German tariff calculators. We classify REEV vehicles correctly and cover the electric components while we're at it.
- REEV
- Range extender: electric drive plus generator – recorded correctly, not miscategorised.
- Battery
- High-voltage components with matching casco cover.
- Registration
- Ready-to-register documents via the individual approval – digital, usually within 24h.
Hybrid? Electric? Getting REEV right
REEV vehicles always drive electrically – the combustion engine only charges the battery. For insurance, the exact drivetrain still matters: it affects classification, possible EV discounts and casco modules. If the Forthing 7 is blanket-recorded as "petrol" or "hybrid", you lose money or cover.
We record the drivetrain precisely, cover the high-voltage tech (battery, charging electronics, cables) in casco and deliver all documents for registration via the individual approval. What remains of the special case is just the driving.
