My wife and I need to get another car and after test driving a few different EV vehicles we are thinking about getting the Kia EV6. Anyone have one that they love / hate? Anything we should know? This would be our first electric vehicle.

When I looked at used car insurance rates recently, EV rates were significantly higher for cars of similar selling prices. That may just be due to the fact the initial sticker price is substantially more for an EV than it is for a similar gas vehicle.

Not sure where you get that idea.

EV insurance is higher because Teslas cause more crashes than any other brand. EVs are full of distractions.

I think without paying for gas I am sure the EV is cheaper still overall. Especially the way prices are going

Probably so, but it's better to be aware of the costs up front so you can take everything into account when making a purchase decision.

Good to know. Thank you
