Insurance
We calculated the cost of insurance for a 40-year-old man living in Mascot, NSW with a clean driving record. We offer both market and negotiated values, the car is garaged and used privately. It is driven 10,000 km a year and used three to four days a week.
Each insurance option is the basic comprehensive option, without additional packages.
Refueling and fuel costs
We’ve come up with a breakdown of home charging costs using three different energy suppliers, using their specific electricity plans or their regular rates for reference.
Resale value
Data on the GWM Ora is limited, as is the case with the Kia EV9 and Tesla Model Y.
Service costs
Each of these cars has a different capped price service plan.
Tires
The cost of tires is always important as they are the only thing that keeps your car in contact with the road.
