Hi ... !!
The electrovalent compounds contain ions, which become free to conduct electricity, in the solution or in the molten state of the electrovalent compound. But the electrovalent compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state, as the ions are not free to move in the solid state, due to existence of strong electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions.

Electrovalent compounds in the solid state do not conduct electricity because movement of ions in the solid state is not possible due to their rigid structure. But these compounds conduct electricity in the molten state. This is possible in the molten state since the electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions become weak. Thus, the ions move freely and conduct electricity.
