Electric vehicles cost $4,058 on average to insure
$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.
Really wanting to try to get something before the credit goes away. It’s a couple months early for when I need a vehicle but $7500 is not an amount I want to miss out on. The Equinox is on my short list, so this is good news.
Do they still use their proprietary infotainment OS and no apple carplay/android auto?
I really wish they had included the average insurance price for each model. They obviously had it, since that was the basis of the ranking, but they chose not to display it.
