UK drivers struggle to get insurance for Chinese EVs such as Jaecoo

Firms do not offer cover for some models, or charge more than for equivalent petrol cars, research finds UK insurers are more hesitant to cover some hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) from China than cars from other countries, research suggests. While some drivers can save money by buying cars made in China, they may have more limited options to get insurance than those buying electric, hybrid and petrol cars from Europe, the US and South Korea.
