Insurance premiums for new energy vehicles (NEVs) are typically higher than those for traditional gasoline vehicles. This disparity stems from several factors:

  • Higher maintenance costs, particularly for core components like batteries.
  • Elevated compensation risks associated with battery aging and potential safety hazards.
  • Rapid technological advancements leading to quicker vehicle depreciation.
  • Policy incentives that inadvertently increase insurance companies' compensation risks.
  • Insufficient risk assessment and data accumulation by insurance companies specifically for NEVs.

These combined factors significantly push up the insurance costs for NEVs.
