从“真香”到“真慌” 新能源车主的保费焦虑何时能解？

Core Viewpoint - The rising insurance premiums for new energy vehicles (NEVs) are a significant concern for owners, with average premiums in 2023 being 63% higher than those for traditional fuel vehicles, despite no claims being made in the previous year [1][2]. Group 1: Reasons for High Premiums - The core factors influencing car insurance premiums are the claims ratio, which is positively correlated with premiums, determined by average claim amounts and the frequency of claims [2]. - The average claim amount for NEVs is higher due to rapid technological upgrades and integrated designs, leading to increased repair costs. For instance, minor collisions can result in repair costs that are several times higher than those for similar fuel vehicles [2]. - The claim frequency for NEVs is elevated as they are commonly used for ride-hailing and freight, which have higher accident rates. Additionally, the younger demographic of NEV owners may contribute to a higher frequency of claims [2]. Group 2: Solutions to the Premium Dilemma - Reducing the claims ratio is essential to address the high insurance costs for NEVs. Companies like PICC and China Taiping are enhancing their pricing capabilities and establishing databases to support differentiated pricing [3][4]. - Regulatory bodies are actively working on policies to improve the situation, such as requiring manufacturers to open repair systems and establish risk-sharing mechanisms to address high repair costs and accident rates [3][4]. - Future initiatives include optimizing the pricing coefficient range for commercial NEV insurance, developing flexible insurance products based on operational conditions, and improving the accuracy of base rates by considering various vehicle factors [4][5]. - The insurance industry is encouraged to leverage technologies like big data and blockchain to enhance risk assessment and pricing capabilities, aiming for a more efficient and cost-effective insurance model for NEVs [5].
