Electric vehicles represent the future of transportation, offering sustainability, innovation, and unmatched performance. Compared to conventional vehicles, EVs have a significant advantage in reducing environmental impact, as they produce zero tailpipe emissions. However, even these advanced machines can encounter issues on the road. To ensure your EV continues to operate smoothly and to maintain warranty coverage, it is important to follow manufacturer guidelines. For EV owners, having a reliable extended warranty that includes roadside assistance is not just a convenience; it is essential. Fortunately, CBI’s extended warranty plans are designed to meet these needs and more.
Comprehensive 24/7 Roadside Assistance
CBI’s extended warranty offers a full suite of roadside services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These include:
- Towing (up to 75 km)
- Flat tire assistance
- Winching service
- Lock-out service
Delivered by trusted third-party providers, these services are prepaid and accessible anytime by calling 1-888-668-6082. If your EV ever needs help, you’re never alone on the road.
Why EV-Specific Roadside Assistance Matters
Unlike traditional vehicles, electric vehicles require specialized care when issues arise. General roadside assistance services are often not equipped to handle the unique features of electric vehicles, such as towing without damaging the drive unit or safely restarting the system.
While high-voltage battery recharging is typically not included in standard roadside assistance, CBI bridges this gap by providing support from experts trained in electric vehicle technologies. These professionals are skilled in handling advanced components like batteries, electric motors, power electronics, and regenerative braking systems—features that are often absent in gasoline-powered vehicles.
With CBI, you benefit not only from the manufacturer’s warranty but also from peace of mind, thanks to assistance tailored to the specific needs of electric vehicles, wherever your journey takes you.
Coverage Across Canada and the United States
CBI’s roadside assistance extends throughout Canada and the United States, making it ideal for frequent travelers and those who want assurance during road trips. This broad coverage ensures that no matter where you go, you are never far from the help you need.
What Else Is Covered by CBI’s Extended Warranty?
Roadside assistance is just one part of the full protection package. CBI offers comprehensive component coverage, including:
- Electric and hybrid drive systems (e.g., inverter, stator, rotor, control modules)
- Transmission, differential, suspension, and braking systems
- High-voltage battery: limited coverage for one additional year, beyond the manufacturer’s warranty (one year or 20,000 km).
- High-tech features like touchscreen navigation, audio-visual systems, heated seats, and charging sockets
Plus, value-added benefits like:
- Rental reimbursement: up to $30 per day, 7 days total, valid for the duration of the contract.
- Lodging coverage if you’re over 300 km from home (up to $50/day for 4 days)
- Workshop material allowance for approved repairs (up to $100)
Unlimited Kilometers, Transferable Plans, and AVN Coverage
CBI’s warranty plans are built for long-term EV ownership. Enjoy:
- Unlimited kilometer usage
- Transferable plans that boost resale value
- AVN (Audio-Visual-Navigation) system coverage, including GPS units, Bluetooth systems, rearview cameras, and infotainment screens
This makes your extended warranty not just a safeguard, but an investment in your vehicle’s longevity and future market value.
More Than Just Roadside Assistance
CBI’s extended warranty plans include much more than just roadside assistance. CBI’s extended warranty plans cover major components, including the transmission and engine, to ensure comprehensive protection for your vehicle. From towing, flat tire service, fuel delivery, winching service and lock-out services, CBI offers an all-encompassing package that is designed to protect your investment and maximize the life of your EV. Additionally, the coverage is fully transferable, adding resale value if you decide to sell your vehicle.
Why Choose CBI?
CBI stands out as Canada’s leading provider of extended warranties for electric vehicles. While manufacturers’ standard warranties are typically limited to five years, CBI offers up to five additional years of coverage bringing total protection to as much as ten years.
The costs and prices of extended warranties can vary depending on the provider, but CBI’s plans are designed to offer value, especially as battery technologies improve and production volumes increase. Higher production volumes in battery manufacturing have led to lower battery prices and reduced overall costs for EV owners. For example, as production volumes of EV batteries have grown in recent years, the price of batteries has dropped significantly, making electric vehicles more affordable and reducing the long-term cost of ownership.
With unmatched flexibility, competitive pricing, and expertise in EV-specific repairs, CBI ensures you get the best value. With the support of Avantage Plus, an insurance provider with over 34 years of experience, you can trust that CBI has the stability and credibility to support your EV ownership journey.

Whether you are traveling locally or exploring new destinations, CBI’s extended warranty ensures you are always protected.
Consumers should carefully review the terms and conditions subject to eligibility when purchasing or activating a plan. The ability to access benefits depends on having purchased and paid for the coverage, so it’s important to consider these factors at the time of purchase.
