Unraveling Electric Car Insurance Costs in 2023

Clean Fleet Report

As a rule of thumb, EVs tend to be more expensive to insure than their gas-powered counterparts due to their cutting-edge technology and the high repair or replacement costs of their battery systems. On the other end of the spectrum, North Carolina offers the most wallet-friendly rates, with an average cost of $105 per month.
