[ausev] Auto Insurance, Yes Farmers has a discount for Electric & Hybrids

[Erik Bigelow]

Hi Casey,

Liability insurance should be easy, that really depends on the driver.
To get collision or comprehensive coverage you'll need to prove your
vehicle's increased value to your insurance company. This usually
requires receipts for your EV components and some back and forth with
your agent. The process is pretty similar to insuring a car to also
cover an expensive aftermarket stereo system.
