GR Yaris Insurance quotes for my GR Yaris

A hike in insurance will make people think twice if they buy EV to save money.

Careful or the evangelists will come for you!

The sad reality is that expensive insurance is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to running an EV. The perception is that owning one will save you money (a lot of that is born out of the blind fanaticism of proponents of them) but the reality is that day-to-day costs of charging are way in excess of the quoted figures. WLTP should really stand for We Lied To Promote.

The car I swapped my Model Y for costs 1/10th to insure. Insurance figures for them were never cheap (I have been driving EVs since 2014), but recently they’ve become ridiculous.

The new insurance model I think guarantees exorbitant price increases for everyone for the foreseeable future.

We will also find out in the coming years from insurance companies whether they refuse home insurance if your EV is parked in a garage joined the the property or within a set distance from it. They are also refusing insurance to appartments and buildings that have underground parking for EVs that weren't designed to handle EV fires. I feel the insurance companies will have a massive influence on the real uptake of EVs - not the fleet buyers but private buyers.

A few office buildings that i do work on in London have EV chargers installed in there underbuilding car parks but no ones allowed to use them due to the sites insurances saying no. A couple other sites security won’t let EV’s park in the underbuilding parking.
