Generally speaking, the premium of new energy vehicles with a price of more than 250000 yuan increased significantly. according to some underwriting data within the company, the premiums of Tesla and weixiaoli have increased, ranging from 15% to 37%.
However, not all new energy vehicle premiums have increased. According to the source, the premiums of models such as Byd Company Limited(002594) Qin and Rongwei E50 have decreased to varying degrees after the introduction of exclusive insurance.
The person in charge of the auto insurance Department of a property insurance company told the Red Star capital bureau that there were many factors for the premium increase of exclusive insurance for new energy vehicles. For example, the compensation rate of new energy vehicles is much higher than that of fuel vehicles, and there are high compensation costs for batteries, body design and various intelligent equipment investment on the vehicle. Moreover, the exclusive insurance includes driving, parking and three electricity, and the scope of insurance is much larger than that of fuel vehicles.
Red Star capital Bureau learned from the industry that after the implementation of the exclusive vehicle insurance for new energy vehicles, whether the vehicle premium rises or falls is also related to the traffic violation records and accident times of each owner in the past year. At the same time, it is also affected by many factors such as the accident claims settlement of the same model over the years and the discounts given by the insurance company. In the future, with the continuous increase of new energy vehicles, the number of reference index samples will also increase, and the premium of new energy vehicles will tend to more accurately reflect the real insurance value of vehicles.
