EV insurance vs petrol car insurance – Which is more expensive?

EV insurance in Australia is often more expensive than petrol car insurance due to various reasons, such as higher repair costs, battery replacement risks, and limited insurer data. But it is a common question; which is more expensive to insure? In this video I've taken a handful of vehicle models as an example and compared their insurance costs. Vehicles featured: -Hyundai Kona Premium 2.0P vs Kona Electric Premium -BMW X3 xDrive20 vs BMW iX3 -MG ZS Excite vs MGS5 EV Excite -Ford Mustang EcoBoost 2.3 coupe vs Mustang Mach-E Electric -Skoda Karoq 110 TSI Select vs Skoda Elroq Select 60 -Toyota Camry Ascent Sport vs BYD Seal Premium These vehicles are used mainly because there are petrol and electric equivalents, with similar dimensions and specifications, although the prices don't always match up evenly (EVs are usually more expensive). For the quotes I used a generic male 42-year-old, owns a home at a specific address with a partner, with no existing or prior insurance policies. And the vehicles were specified the same, with no options and standard white paint. Your insurance quote is likely to be different to the prices represented in the video. This is just an example.
