this is wrong, it says "Third Party Property", your house is not third party, it's first party. If today your car crash into other people's house then yes it's payable.

Your own House fire must come under your own home insurance.

It is still 3rd party. It is different entity.
Your logic doesn’t logic. Your car driving and end up accident with your other car driving by maybe your wife. Then by your logic cannot claim accident and lost ncd from both side

Some el cheapo installers are doing stupid shits like.
1. Use type AC Rccb ( instead of type A)
2. Upgrade tnb fuse to 100A to prevent fuse burn(only ok if wiring can support it. Most houses are not able to suport this
3. Direct tap from meter bypassing the main MCB and leaving protection to the tnb fuse only. Couple with method 2 and its a perfect recipe for disaster.
Other risks
1.some old houses have degraded incoming tnb cables. Even at 25mm2 with load balanced charger, there was a fire event.
2. Loose connection on tnb neutral block, incoming junction box with elevated temperature.

Expect more incoming tnb issues and insurance refusing coverage. Most people have no clue about all this

actually you will need type b smooth dc detection with 6ma trip sensitivity easily cost upward of 1k and above if you're not using cheap chinese brands
if the charger come with smooth dc rccd with 6ma trip sensitivity then you only need type a, so you'll need the know the spec of your ev charger

well another thing i didn't heard about inspection done by installer is earthing check pen fault protection to prevent electrocution when touching the car body

No 1 requirement before you buy and EV is that you have 3 phase wiring at your home. Proper installation of a wall charger is a must. Many house owners don't even have home insurance.

how much $ to change to 3 phase? every neighborhood has 3 phase supply? inside house wiring need to change massively?

keyword "your" other car, still yours, not third party. your other car you claim that car's insurance. Third party won't even trigger in this scenario.

Remember than iman kamil reckless driving and accident case. Went viral and almost everyone thought insurance will deny his claim.

1 year later he made another post said insurance approved his claim and will be repairing his car

It’s good to hear he was able to claim it, though his story sounds a bit strange. It seems most workshops he visited asked him to get the insurance company to declare it a total loss because they don't actually know how to fix it. But then again, being able to claim is a good sign for EV owner.

Insurance will pay out if there is no modification on the critical parts that could cause fire like ice cars.

And i dont think owner would like to brag that they have successfully claim the insurance. You only can hear noise if they couldn't claim it
Some car insurance like berjaya sompo have coverage like up to rm10k if wall charger on fire but i wondering other home appliance like aircond can catch fire too so why is it different compare to home charger. Hmm

Yeah, it’s true—people tend to complain when a claim gets rejected, but never hear a peep when it goes smoothly. If these insurance companies were smart, they’d shout their successful EV claims from the rooftops! Using those success stories as marketing would give future EV buyers way more confidence. If people heard more about claims actually being paid out, they wouldn't be so paranoid about making the switch.

...

This latest case is going to be interesting; it's definitely worth seeing the outcome. I'm curious if both cars will actually be settled as a total loss. It would be great to know the final payout—if they ever let that info out.

SoyaCincao investigating by asking on FB the other day... thought that team always promote EV but fundamental maybe not that important to acknowledge LAH
