$4k per what? Is that across the entirety of the category, which is top-heavy?
I can assure you that my Chevy Bolt costs a lot less than $4k/year to insure, and that includes full coverage and common claim caps. It's similar to my common ICE car before it.
I presume it's being heavily swayed by the expensive cars, such as Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, etc. I don't think your standard EV (GM, Hyundai, VW, etc) is going to be reasonably different over a comparable ICE model.
