"*" indicates required fields
Over the last several years, electric vehicles (EVs) have become increasingly popular. While many car manufacturers are producing EVs, Tesla continues to be the most popular brand. In 2022, Teslas accounted for 65% of all EV sales in the U.S.
If you own a Tesla or are thinking about buying one, you might be wondering about the cost of Tesla insurance. Because Teslas have specialty parts and can be expensive to fix, they often have higher insurance premiums than some gas-powered vehicles.
In this article, we’ll look at the average cost of auto insurance for a Tesla and share which companies have the best car insurance for Teslas.
Based on our analysis of recent rate data, the average cost of Tesla insurance ranges from $2,880 to $4,050 per year, which is roughly $240 to $337 per month.
However, the cost of car insurance for a Tesla depends on a variety of different factors. Your location, age, credit score, claim history, and driving record are some of the personal criteria that will impact your rate.
There are also several policy-related factors that affect the cost. For example, your coverage limits and deductibles will determine your insurance premium, as well as the specific model, year, and trim of your Tesla.
It’s also important to note that the insurance company you choose will affect the cost of your Tesla insurance. Auto insurance companies charge different rates for the same types and amounts of coverage. Before you buy Tesla insurance, you should shop around and get quotes to find the most affordable policy for your situation.
