Expensive miss when buying a used electric car – SEK 50,000 per year

Historically, it has usually been smarter to buy a used car than a new one, as used cars tend to hold their value better.

However, this is not the case for many electric cars, as some models can cost close to SEK 50,000 a year to insure. This is not a problem on brand new cars, as they have a carriage damage guarantee for the first three years and therefore do not require comprehensive insurance.

Here are the models that are the most expensive and cheapest to insure, according to a new compilation from Zmarta.

In the compilation of the electric cars that are the most expensive to insure, there is one brand that stands out, and that is Tesla.

The brand’s best-selling SUV Model Y Long Range is the most expensive car in the compilation to insure, with a monthly cost of between 2,626 and 4,141 kroner – which is an annual cost of between 31,512 and 49,692 kroner.
