EV Insurance

[Boomer54]

Decent summary in the Sunday Times today regarding the many issues surrounding getting Insurance for EV's, and why current renewals may seem to be increasing far more rapidly then equivalent Petrol/Diesel.

No point me giving the link ,because you probably will not be able to read if you are not a subscriber, but you may be able to get it just by searching.

Anyway you look at it though it does appear EV's are going to come with another unforseen cost penalty.

Yes it's a sorry fact the the owners of EV's are in a sorry state when it comes to insurance renewal. Many companies are refusing to cover.

Think I'll stick with my petrol car 😁

I would not have an EV anyway. The confrontations in the supermarket car park at charging stations put me off. Insurance bad news. Lack of spares, emerging new Battery technologies mean your old one is worthless, second hand values, risks of setting your house on fire and so on...  Finally no character.

Thank goodness we have Lexus and not Land Rovers, I feel sorry for the owners of these.
