The
cost of insuring a hybrid or electric car
is about the same as insuring a gas car.
The same factors that influence premiums for traditional vehicles apply to hybrids as well, like:
  • Your annual mileage
  • Where you park your vehicle (on the street vs. in a garage)
  • Your driving history
  • Your age
  • Your vehicle’s safety features
  • Your credit score (in some states)
  • The optional coverages you include
While insuring an EV is about the same, keep in mind that hybrid cars might cost more to repair in the event of a collision, so it’s important to be prepared!
