Can anyone recommend an insurance company that will insure a City El...at reasonable cost? I know of A,Flux but the cost is prohibitive...almost twice the price of my Prius insurance. And this for a 30 mph single seater limited use (low miles per year) equivilant to a moped vehicle. If the public are going to embrace electric cars, insurance companies will have to pull their finger out and get with the program. Talk is cheap and so far thats all I've heard or read. Insight

I wouldn't call it cheap, but I was able to land insurance for my Twike via StateFarm as long as I had one other non-motorcycle vehicle insured by State Farm so our old 1991 Toyota Camry has collision-only and the Twike has comprehensive  . Twike 434's owner was able to get a quite for comprehensive at $166/yr form Country Financial -- he's out in Portland, so their agents/companies are a little more eco-car friendly. My initial collision/liability only insurance was $75 for a year through Progressive's motorcycle insurance via Ed Otto's Greenlight Insurance agency in Chicago -- http://www.greenlightins.com/ They're licensed to insure in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin -- Ed's a good egg, had an insurance quote 2 weeks before I owned 433! Good luck! Commute suck? Twike it; You'll like it!

Thanks childress I now realise I should have specified I am in the UK. I have Allstate cover on a vehicle we keep in the states but as far as I know U.S companies won't insure here in the UK. I have been advised to join an in country electric car club that has a discount agreement with a UK based insurer which I have now done.  |
