Car insurance for EV drivers: when did you last check if your price is still competitive?

Insurers rarely tell you when a competitor is offering a better price.

Insurers use different pricing models for EV drivers, which means the same driver can receive very different quotes from different companies. The only way to know is to check.

If you've been with the same insurer for 2+ years without comparing, there's a real chance you're not on their best available rate.

Typical cost

What are people actually paying?

Based on publicly available data, car insurance for EV drivers typically ranges from $800โ€“$2,000 per year. That's a wide spread โ€” and where you land depends heavily on which insurer you choose, not just your circumstances.

Prices are indicative only, sourced from general market research. Actual quotes may differ. Always read the PDS before purchasing.

What affects your premium

Why prices vary so much

  • โœ“The make and model of your vehicle โ€” repair costs and theft rates vary by car.
  • โœ“Your claims history โ€” a strong no-claims record is one of the most effective ways to lower premiums.
  • โœ“Excess amount โ€” choosing a higher excess usually reduces your annual premium.
  • โœ“Driver inclusions โ€” adding young or inexperienced drivers can raise the cost.

What if you could pay less for the same cover?

Common questions

Is car insurance compulsory in Australia?

CTP (Compulsory Third Party) insurance is compulsory in all states and territories and covers personal injury claims. Comprehensive or third party property insurance is optional, but strongly recommended.

Does my car insurance cover me if someone else drives my car?

It depends on your policy. Many policies extend cover to other licensed drivers, but some apply restrictions or additional excesses for unlisted drivers. Check your PDS.

What happens if I don't disclose information when applying for car insurance?

Non-disclosure of relevant information โ€” such as prior claims or modifications โ€” can result in a claim being reduced or denied. Always provide accurate information when applying.
