Just received car insurance renewal. Gone up to nearly $2800 for my 2022 Model 3. Currently with Alliance, is there anyone out there with cheaper rates ?
Feel it is just very high, seeing two years ago it was $1800, the excess is $850.

The insurance premiums are utterly â â â â â â . Partially as a result of incredibly expensive repair costs of modern cars.

I just paid about 2600 to have a Zappi installed right next to the meter box. It did need an additional circuit and switchboard put in.

Iâm an accredited Suncorp broker for insurance, if anyone wants to see if I can beat their quote send me a DM, sometimes it works out better and sometimes worse depending on circumstances.
(I am an asset finance broker, doing mainly vehicle/equipment loans FYI)

I was with QBE and swapped to CGU (through a broker). $1,955 for a 2023 Kia EV6. WAs $2,430 last year before swapping.
Just shop around, if you stay with one provider every year it just keeps ramping up.

Too expensive to repair.

Any thoughts on GEELY Mrs HOGALF test drove the ex 2 inspire .. she thought it was better then the ATTO 3
Geely owns Volvo, and is a major stakeholder in Lotus.
They have access to carmaker experience that many of the other EV manufacturers donât, and by all reports make great cars.
They arenât a small company by any means. They also own Polestar, LEVC, that makes black cabs in UK, controlling stake in Malaysiaâs Proton. Theyâre a 50% partner with Mercedes Benz in Smart.
BYD is a battery company that makes EVs. They make pretty good cars too, but theyâre learning as they go. They donât have access to the same decades of regular car manufacturing experience like Geely does

Thatâs all fair enough, but you have to admit that BYD have learnt pretty quickly

Iâm not dissing BYD. Theyâve been solid. And their current generation EVs in China - the incoming new generations they will bring here very shortly are leaps and bounds ahead of what theyâre selling here right now

I made the mistake of adding under 25YO kids to an initial quote from Allianz. It was something North of $7K. I went with RACV for around $2.5K. I was relieved enough with that, that I must admit I didnât look further.
EDIT: including glass and under 25YO kids with an extra excess
I canât wait to see the xpeng L03. this one could really shake the whole industry . I also note from my perspective and others I would guess , it has 1500 kg towing and a free towbar. I have a camper trailer that would be well under 1500 kg. so this combined with the erev option means I would possibly still get 600 700 ? in a 40 ltr fuel supply , even towing my van with v to l of 3kw, this could be amazing for this scenario
the ev only range is supposed to be over 200klm which in itself addresses 90% of my use. all this for maybe 45k possibly with autonomous drive
