The car insurance industry is still adapting to the presence of electric cars on the UK’s roads, according to an investigation from TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk.
According to the study, some owners of the new greener form of transport will find it difficult to get quotes, while others could be shocked at the cost. The green car guide found that as the first electric car models make their first UK deliveries, only two of the four biggest price comparison websites are able to provide a quote for such cars .
When attempting to get quotes from the websites, the investigation found that two of the websites’ forms required confirmation of whether the car was petrol or diesel and requested the engine size in litres. Further, ten of the biggest insurance companies and brokers in the UK were approached both on the phone and through their own websites and six of these firms could not quote for electric cars via their websites.
The website’s editor Faye Sunderland, said: “Our research has shown that the first electric car buyers may need to be patient and hunt around for the best deal rather than accept the first quote they get.”
