THE QUESTION

Is it more expensive to insure an electric vehicle — such as a Tesla — than a gas-powered car?

THE ANSWER

Yes, it is more expensive to insure an electric vehicle if you add comprehensive and collision coverage to your policy. According to USAA, if you have two cars that are identical in every way except one is electric and the other is gas-powered, it would likely cost more to carry comprehensive or collision insurance on the electric vehicle.

USAA says it all comes down to the cost of claims for electric or hybrid vehicles. EVs have parts that are most expensive to repair and replace.
