Not related to EV's, but Progressive is one of the few in Montana to insure old giant farm trucks (1.5 ton to 4 ton). State Farm and Farmers won't even do liability on medium duty trucks. Progressive was super cheap, about $100 every 6-months for liability. So maybe check Progressive out. Good

When I got my conversion, I had State Farm. I checked with my agent before purchasing the car and they saw no problems. About a month after writing the policy, I got a letter from the corporate offices stating they wouldn't underwrite a conversion like mine and my policy was being canceled. I

You are asking the wrong questions and volunteering too much information... simply insure the conversion as a "stock," year, make, and model. Then add an umbrella policy to cover the extra value of the conversion with justification in the form of receipts for the components. As with other customiz

Not specifically certain about Minnesota but the only companies I could find that would insure a conversion in Idaho and Oregon were Progressive and Farmer's. Progressive turned out to be cheaper for me. - Peter Flipsen Jr On Thu, May 29, 2014 at 11:57 AM, Will via EV wrote: > Morgan, > I hea
