I currently drive a conversion EV truck that has liability insurance via Farmers. I always tell my agent what it is that I am bringing to him, I do not know if he reports everything to the underwriter besides that it is a 1989 Ford Ranger with industry standard VIN and simply omits that it no longer has a 4-banger.

It was the fact that it was a conversion that caused the grief. I was actually pretty pissed about the way it went down. Before I bought the conversion, I asked my agent if they could insure it. I was assured that wasn't a problem. I buy it, bring it home and they write the policy. A month later, I get a letter from the underwriter stating that my insurance was cancelled. I then had to scramble to get insurance elsewhere. Mike On March 10, 2015 5:18:58 PM MDT, Lee Hart via EV <[email protected]> wrote: >Cal Frye via EV wrote: >> There's no rhyme nor reason to it.
