Hybrid Insurance Question! I've heard that insurance for electric cars is expensive. I asked an insurance agent yesterday, and they said even Toyota's non-plug-in hybrids have high premiums. Is it true that anything related to electricity has higher insurance costs?

The battery of the Levin Hybrid can only run for 1 kilometer, and yet the insurance premium goes up because of this 1 kilometer. I wonder if anyone is still buying it.

It's generally just two or three thousand, which is alright.

Switching to a new insurance company now seems to be more expensive, it's recommended to renew your policy instead. Plus, renewing at the 4S dealership might come with maintenance perks.

A few years ago, some places were indeed expensive because many people were using hybrid cars for ride-hailing. Now, most have switched to pure electric vehicles.

It's a few hundred more expensive than a gasoline car.

The new car insurance was 5000 the first year and 3800 the second year, I think it's Pacific Insurance. They gave me two 300 maintenance vouchers, but I feel like I've been ripped off. [I need some quiet time]

Same as a fuel vehicle.

I was charged 4,400 for my new car's full coverage insurance, mandatory insurance, and vehicle and vessel tax. I feel like I got ripped off because others mentioned that buying insurance can get you a cashback of over 800 yuan.

Because of the switch to BYD lithium battery, right?

Yesterday, I confirmed the parts. Today, I have another question to ask. Based on real-world tests, what's the difference in fuel consumption between hybrid and pure gasoline? Per 100 kilometers. Thanks to all the experienced folks.

I've been driving a Touran for 7 years, and it's time for a change. I'm looking for recommendations based on my needs. Here's what I'm looking for: I commute 25km one way to work, and there's no fixed parking spot in my community. The city is crowded, which tests my driving skills, so the car can't be too big. I'd like a space for a nap at noon, so electric or plug-in hybrids are preferred. We are a family of three, and we often take the kid out on weekends, so the car's stability and smooth driving are important as my family gets car sick easily. I often take care of the kid alone, and since the kid is not very strong, an electric sliding door would be great. My kid likes camping in the car, so it needs to have ample space. Occasionally, I need to move things between houses, so flexible space is a plus. Since my wife doesn't drive, we can only have one car. Right now, it seems like the GAC E8 is the only option 🤣

I have a question for the owners of the 4WD version of this car. Today, I asked a friend if setting the 4WD selector to 2WD on the Outlander Sport makes the fuel consumption the same as the 2WD version. He said no, even if you set it to 2WD, there's still some power loss, and the fuel consumption is higher than the pure 2WD version. Is that true, folks?

Will there be a hybrid version? The non-plug-in type. This car has a lot of style.
