  1. Kia Niro
    Just coming up to a year of ownership and looking around for insurance quotes. I thought I would check what Kia Insurance are offering and did an online quote.... Once I picked myself up from the floor I started to look at the details to see why it was 50% more than the average quote. They make...

    I'm just looking at buying a 14 plate 24kWh Leaf and thought I'd get a price for insuring it. I've currently got a Audi A6 1.9tdi 2004, I have full no claims, almost 50 and I paid £300 with Hastings DIrect Premier in November and just checked and they are now coming up at around £350 so...

    Hello Everyone, I am interested in buying an ID.3 Pro Performance but I am having a hard time getting an estimate on the annual insurance. I'm hoping some of you can help me out. I understand that insurance will vary from person to person but if I could get a rough estimate that would be very...
  4. Audi Q8 E-Tron SUV
    Hi all I'm leasing an Etron through my business. Currently have a personal kia sportage with insurance at £600. Cheapest I can find on the Etron is £1850 through direct line. I'm assuming that my not being the owner or registered keeper (the finance company are) is impacting this, as many...

    OK, I'm due to collect my first EV on Thursday (26th) and called my current insurer M & S, for my car (Ford C-Max 2.0 Titanium Diesel 2007) to get a price. I was assuming that they'd be able to give me a price and maybe have to pay a small fee to change the car over... no. The current...
  7. First Gen Nissan LEAF (LEAF24 & LEAF30)
    Hi, My wife's car insurance is due in a few week's time. I used PlugInsure in the past & it was very cheap. For example, I paid about £200 for the car insurance premium for my Nissan Leaf 30 KWh a year ago. PlugInsure gave my wife a rather high quote. They claim it's because their main...

    I know there's already multiple threads on the best insurance deals, but irrespective of price, what insurance policies out there are specifically aimed at EV drivers, with extras such as free recovery if you run out of power, or discounted charging etc?

    Hi, So I just got a Leaf (and now I just want to drive it all the time) :D Looked around for insurance and signed up with RAC Black Box insurance. The policy starts tomorrow (car is covered by temporary insurance from the dealer). Now, I'm reading all kinds of horror stories about black box...
  12. First Generation Ampera and Volt
    I have insured my cars with Saga since 2012 - so far, they have been pretty decent but I had a bit of a shock last year when I traded in 15 year old Rover 75 for a two old Astra - the insurance doubled to over £700! So I thought that I may fare better when trading in the Astra for an Ampera that...
  13. E-Motorcycles
    I am looking into the total ownership cost of a Super Soco and the quoted price for the TC I get is £680 per annum for 3rd party fire and theft. This seems too high for me as it is more than what I have paid for my Nissan Leaf and the TC is only 50cc. I never had a claim but also have not owned...
  14. Tesla Model 3
    Hi, I've tried looking whether a thread already existed for this, couldn't find one but apologies if duplicating! Does anyone have any insight or logic on policy pricing will be in the UK? Assuming it'll be based on a similar luxury saloon in its class? I am this close <-> to placing a...

    Bought myself a lovely MY13 Ampera Electron in Cyber Grey on Wednesday 2nd May, one week later - Wednesday 9th May - got a minute away from home on my way to work and was T-boned on the drivers side by a woman in an Audi Estate who came barrelling out of a junction without giving way. :eek...
  16. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Having recently taken delivery of my GTE, has anyone else found insuring it tricky? The insurers I was already with (Principle) had never heard of it and took a while before coming back to me with a ridiculous quote. I had the same issue with a couple of other companies and Aviva had their...
  17. Renault ZOE
    Hi, Very simple question. I drum in my car reg on insurance sites, it comes up as "Signature NAV", I click and say "That is not correct" and then select "i Signature NAV" on the list. Is that normal or do I need to ask Renault to fix it with DVLA? I called DVLA and they said they register...

    Just been sent this by my insurance company. They insure my Leaf Tekna for £166.25 which when I last looked was pretty much the cheapest around. Thought it might be useful to you and to me.
