Comparing prices of insurance isn't really helpful. Everyone pays something different.
I'm 28 and live near but not in a high crime area, commute 60 miles per day, have a clean driving record, and have a good credit score. My LEAF was only marginally more expensive to insure than a high-mileage, 6-year old, ex-vomit comet, pool patrol car.
I went with GEICO and pay about $1000/year for broad form comprehensive coverage ($100K/$300K/$50K) with a few extra options added, $500 deductible.
Compare that to $450/year for liability-only (no collision/comprehensive coverage, minimum state requirements) on my 2006 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
For further comparison, I was paying $960/year for broad form comprehensive coverage on my Crown Victoria with AAA before I cut it to liability-only with GEICO.
I was able to apply an NMFA discount with GEICO, so I think that helped my rates a little.
