The Truth About Cars

APRIL 12, 2024

New car prices are slowly returning to reality, but the universe isn’t done torturing buyers. A new report from Reuters found that insurance rates are climbing just as the financial pain of buying a new car is easing. It just so happens that many of those places are highly populated, driving up the averages for everyone.

Smaller electric cars are heavier than their petrol equivalents, too. This added risk wouldn’t apply if everyone drove cars of similar heft. If US residents who switched to SUVs over the past 20 years had stuck with smaller cars, more than 1,000 pedestrian deaths might have been averted, according to one study. Shaffer et al.
