Electric car insurance in Northern Ireland – a straightforward guide

Is electric car insurance in Northern Ireland more expensive than insuring an electric or diesel car?

It used to be, but that’s not always the case anymore.

However, as electric cars become increasingly popular the cost of insuring these vehicles is now largely on a par with their petrol and diesel counterparts, so other risk factors (like your age or your history of motoring convictions, for instance) are likely to have a bigger impact on your premium.
