My wife and I need to get another car and after test driving a few different EV vehicles we are thinking about getting the Kia EV6. Anyone have one that they love / hate? Anything we should know? This would be our first electric vehicle.

    When I looked at used car insurance rates recently, EV rates were significantly higher for cars of similar selling prices. That may just be due to the fact the initial sticker price is substantially more for an EV than it is for a similar gas vehicle.

      Not sure where you get that idea.

      EV insurance is higher because Teslas cause more crashes than any other brand. EVs are full of distractions.

        “I get that idea” by getting quotes directly from my insurer on various EV’s models that don’t include Teslas. Where do you get the idea that Tesla crash statistics define the insurance cost for every EV on the market?

      I think without paying for gas I am sure the EV is cheaper still overall. Especially the way prices are going
