Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Skywell has launched a new manufacturer-approved insurance partnership with insurance company, Adrian Flux.
The brand markets the Skywell BE11, an all-electric SUV, powered by a 150kW (204 bhp) electric motor with the choice of either 72kWh or 86kWh NMC batteries.
It can DC charge up to 80kW, with a 20% to 80% top-up possible in 36 minutes, and has a WLTP certified range of between 248-303 miles, and up to 401 on the city cycle.
Insurance group ratings in the UK are provided by automotive industry research consultants Thatcham Research, who collate essential information such as security and safety features, low speed impact results, repair manuals and processes, plus parts catalogues and pricing; which is subsequently shared to the UK motor insurance industry.
Prior to launching the BE11 in the UK, Skywell’s technical team in the UK, along with engineering teams in China, worked closely with Thatcham to ensure this information was made freely available.
Norfolk-based Adrian Flux, with more than 50 years’ experience as a specialist motor insurance broker, has the ability to search across a wide panel of insurers.
David Clark, General Manager, Skywell UK said, “Along with offering genuine Skywell parts and accessories, a buy now-pay later programme, a seven-year warranty and extendable roadside assistance programme up to ten years, the new partnership with Adrian Flux meets our goals of expanding our aftersales focus of putting the customer ownership experience first.
“Adrian Flux have a long history of offering fantastic levels of customer service, and we are incredibly proud to have the support of such a recognised brand within the car insurance market, enable us to launch our manufacturer-approved insurance programme and expand our customer offering.”
