The reason for the unpopularity of eco-called expensive insurance Bashny.Net

British Institute of the motor industry (IMI) said the main reason for the refusal of motorists from the purchase of eco is too expensive insurance. According to the study, 70 percent of British drivers are unwilling or unable to pay for the insurance of such vehicles.





IMI estimated that about 40 percent of people concerned about air pollution and regard electric cars, or models with a hybrid power plant as a solution to the problem. However, according to the researchers, the cost of insurance of eco-friendly cars half is higher relative to conventional machines. The reason is that the eco is usually more expensive, their repair involved a smaller number of services.

According to IMI, today in the UK only one percent of the mechanics have the necessary skills to repair vehicles with high voltage electrical equipment, and almost all of them work in the official dealer centers.





In addition, the owners expressed concern over the availability of charging stations.

The survey was conducted among two thousand people. Only 17 percent of respondents felt that the concern for the environment is more important than the high cost of eco, despite the fact that 38 percent of people called air pollution a very serious problem. While 21 per cent of motorists aged 18 to 24 agree to pay for "green" cars more, while among people older than 55 years is it ready to go only nine percent. published
