Taycan test drive

[MCDK]

Wonder why your Admiral quote is so high. Is that quote as an extra car to the Macan or as a replacement? If it’s an extra then they maybe aren’t applying any or not enough NCB. I did have an argument with them over that issue as they dropped a NCB I had built up on another car when it came into the multicar policy. Hence why I was happy to get that NCB re established and start the Taycan on its own policy.

Another aspect of EV insurance premiums....

"Electric vehicles claims are 25% higher than petrol cars"

I could only use my NCB on one of the cars in our Admiral multi car. They initially applied it to the Kia but I asked for it to be swapped to the Macan instead.
The Kia premium went up by about £35 but the Macan came down by about £200 so lesson learned - check which vehicle it’s applied to and make sure it’s where it does the most good

UK insurance is little better than a scam! IMHO

Yeah, the other aspect of EV ownership the media like to keep quite about.

And these bits...

Batteries can make up half of an EV's cost and Thatcham found a replacement battery can cost more than the used price of the vehicle after only one year, making replacing them uneconomical.


Due to their potential fire risk, damaged EVs awaiting repair must be stored outside at least 15 metres (49 ft) from other objects.

An outside facility for 100 fossil-fuel cars today would have space to safely quarantine just two EVs, Thatcham said.

Conspiracy theory. EV's are gooder than ICE cars

Wont be long before Dieselgate is replaced by EVgate. Probably find sitting on all those batteries is gradually radiating the passengers

And the fact they can't fully recycle them.

Luckily we know how to solve the next climate emergency. More Tax and force people to sell / scrap perfectly good cars and buy something far more expensive. Climate crisis solved
