Besides, it also highlighted that bulk of kits users are car owners, already spending around $1bn on car insurance on an annual basis.
Lemonade COO and co-founder Shai Wininger stated that the move follows an overwhelming demand for a car insurance product offering from its customers.
Wininger noted: “And so, since last year, a large part of our team has been working on what we believe will become one of the best car insurance products on the market,” said Shai Wininger,
“Lemonade Car will use technology to handle emergencies and pay claims fast, will offer great prices to safe drivers, and will be especially attractive to drivers of EVs and environment-friendly cars.”
The year 2020 was an eventful year for Lemonade in many ways.
Last July, it raised $319m in an IPO by selling 11 million shares at $29 each.
The firm also expanded its European footprint last year, by entering the French insurance space in December 2020.
Earlier in 2020, Lemonade launched operations in the Netherlands, marking its second European presence after Germany.
