I’ve already sent him the link Thank you. I remember you sending a link but couldn't remember whether it was the Wuling Air or not. I was looking through the motoring forum EV threads. Cheers.

ExpatOilWorker Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 2 hours ago, Bandersnatch said: I often see quoted in this discussion by people who don’t own a EV in Thailand that EV insurance is crazy expensive and that EVs depreciate at an alarming rate here in Thailand. So I thought I would post a quote and insured value for one my EVs. It is an MG HS PHEV X with a 17kWh battery and it’s now 3 years old. Maybe other EV owners can post their quotes to do a bit of myth busting? Myth or not, your MG is not an EV it is a plug-in Hybrid. What is the insurance for the Seal?

Yes, the year, 2022 or 2023 makes a little difference but the NCB makes the most: 0% and idk are almost the same but 40% has the most effect My most likely scenario for an Atto 3 : Atto 3 ext range 2023 Yes to dash cam, 15k km, personal use, never for work, 0 claims, no finance, married, age 62, 6 years dl, 40% NCB, policy start later, 11,050 baht 9,681 baht for same as above but 2022.

It depends what you're comparing a Toyota Cross with, I see it as a competitor to the MG EP+ which is about the same to insure as a Toyota Cross. Insurance is often related to performance and EV's are generally high-performance vehicles. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
