​Interior Electric with Electric Vehicle Charger Protection Plan

Your car is a lifeline to the outside world. And if you drive an electric vehicle (EV), you know how important your level 2 charger is to daily life.

An EV level 2 charger breakdown or malfunction is a huge inconvenience: imagine you can’t drive to work, the kids to school, or even to the doctor or grocery store. That’s why you need your EV charger to be ready when needed.

What You Should Know

As an EV owner, you are probably already aware of the environmentally-friendly and low-maintenance benefits that come with having a plug-in electric vehicle.

But did you also know that by the year 2035, it is projected that more than half of all light-duty vehicle sales will be electric? That’s why CenterPoint is introducing NEW coverage from HomeServe to customers like you.
