Owners of some of the 最新の Chinese electric cars to enter Britain are 直面するing expensive 賞与金s and in some 事例／患者s are 'almost uninsurable' for drivers.

It comes after さまざまな報告（する）／憶測s of 範囲 Rover owners struggling to find affordable cover for their 乗り物s, which is linked to the fact the 高級な SUVs are 存在的d by organised 犯罪のギャング（団）s who are stealing them to order for 違法な overseas 輸出（する）s.

However, the 保険 woes 直面するd by owners of Chinese EVs hasn't been 誘発する／引き起こすd by their vulnerability to 窃盗; instead, it's a 欠如（する） of 利用できる parts and 専門的知識 to 修理 them that has seen 賞与金s 急に上がる in 最近の months.

A 報告（する）／憶測 by 自動推進の肩書を与える自動車表明する設立する that drivers of BYD and GWM Ora 乗り物s are 直面するing 極端に法外な引用するs for cover because only a few 保険 providers will 同意して署名する them 予定 to the difficultly to 直す／買収する，八百長をする them.

保険賞与金s for some of the 最新の Chinese EVs to 攻撃する，衝突する UK roads (like the BYD 調印（する） pictured) have sky-ロケット／急騰するd in 最近の months

The モーターing magazine 最高潮の場面s the BYD 調印（する） - a sporty electric saloon model that costs from ￡45,695 in Britain - as one example where owners are 直面するing major difficulties finding cover at an affordable price - or at all.

自動車表明する said it had searched 主要な comparison 場所／位置s and were only 申し込む／申し出d three 'very high 引用するs', with the 大多数 of mainstream 保険会社s 辞退するing to 供給する a price.

We ran our own quotation search using Compare the Market to find out how much it would cost to cover a 調印（する） for a 40-year-old male living in Lincolnshire who keeps the car on a driveway at their 所有物／資産／財産 and covers 10,000 miles a year for social, 国内の and 減刑する／通勤するing needs.

The 引用する was for a sales exec with over 20 years of no （人命などを）奪う，主張するs 特別手当 wanting fully-包括的な cover.

How will Chinese brands 固く結び付ける themselves in Britain??

Sepi Arani, Carw ow's 商業の director, explained to us the 戦略s 存在 used to 伸び（る） drivers' 信用／信任 to 支える sales.

'Moreover, there's a 圧力（をかける）ing need for 投資s in training and 器具／備品昇格s for 修理 centres to 演説（する）／住所 the rising 需要・要求する resulting from the growing influx of these 乗り物s.'

We also approached GWM Ora UK to find out what is 存在 done to find a 解答 to 容易にする修理s and bring 負かす／撃墜する増大するing 賞与金s for owners.

A spokesperson told us: 'We are aware that a number of 保険 companies in the UK market are 供給するing 限られた／立憲的な選択s when it comes to insuring 製品s from new 自動推進の brands.?

'GWM Ora is 現在／一般に working with 基幹産業 partners, like Thatcham 研究, on this topic to 供給する transparent insight into its parts, aftersales and retailer 操作／手術s.

'After just over one year of 操作／手術s, GWM Ora has 始める，決める up over 30+ 顧客 service points across the UK and 任命するd 18 high 質小売 partners.?

'Additionally, the brand is supported by International モーターs 限られた／立憲的な (IML), an 設立するd distributor that operates across 多重の markets, 供給するing in-house technical 専門的知識, next day parts 配達／演説／出産 and central 倉庫／問屋ing in the midlands.?

'IML has a long history of supporting a host of 井戸／弁護士席-設立するd 自動推進の brands across all areas of 商売／仕事含むing aftersales, 輸入する, marketing, parts 在庫／株ing, sales and more.'

To 供給するその上の安心 to 顧客s and 産業 partners, the Chinese car 製造者 has also committed to 器具／実施するing a number of 即座の対策, 含むing an?'産業 first 動きやすい殴打／砲列査察 team' to 検査／視察する and 査定する／（税金などを）課す殴打／砲列s after a 衝突／不一致 or 報告（する）／憶測d 事故.?

'This preventative 手段 will 供給する指導／手引 and 推薦s from technical 専門家s on the safety of the 殴打／砲列 and its repairability status,' it say s.

It will also have an?表明する配達／演説／出産 service for parts that are 要求するd to be shipped outside of the UK and 供給する full 接近 to 修理手動式のs and associated technical 構成要素 for all third party repairers.

'GWM Ora hopes that these new 対策, 存在するing aftersales 組織／基盤／下部構造 and retailer 網状組織 will 証明する to be 効果的な at showcasing the brands かかわり合い to 供給するing an efficient, 質 and transparent aftersales service to 顧客s and 産業 partners,' the spokesperson 追加するd.

The Ora 03 is a small hatchback that costs from ￡31,995, which is pricey given it's compact size. GWM Ora sold just 911 examples in 2023

While 範囲 Rover's parent company Jaguar Land Rover has tried to 修正する owner 頭痛s around sky-high 賞与金s 予定 to the number of 窃盗s by 供給するing its own 保険製品, Chinese 製造者s are ありそうもない to be in a position to do the same.??

And the 問題／発行する could 増大するその上の as more Chinese 製造者s enter the British new car market.

Brands 含むing XPeng and Chery's Omoda are 始める，決める to break into the UK market this year, and others are 予定 to follow having already 体制／機構 shop in 本土／大陸 Europe.

The hope is that they arrive with 強健な aftercare 解答s and a strong bank of 交替／補充 parts to 供給（する） UK models.?

自動車表明する' 排除的報告（する）／憶測 is another 警告発射 to the 政府 and モーター産業 about a 欠如（する） of preparedness for the switch to EVs.??

The 最新の data from the 学校／設ける of the モーター産業 (IMI) - the professional 団体／死体 for those working in 自動推進の - has just 明らかにする／漏らすd a 転換 in the point when the number of 専門家技術者s qualified to work on EVs 落ちるs below the 最小限 number 要求するd.

The 学校／設ける of the モーター産業警告するs in 2032 there will be a 技術s gap for EV-qualified mechanics to work on the growing 容積／容量 of electric cars on the road

Previous 発射／推定s 示唆するd a 不足（高） would appear in 2029 and reach 13,000 by 2032.

However, its updated?分析予報するs the 技術s gap will now materialise three years later in 2032, with a gap of 5,670.

At the end of January, there were 52,000 qualified EV 専門家技術者s in the UK - up from 45,300 in July 2023, 代表するing 22 per cent of all 専門家技術者s in the country.

With over one million fully-electric cars now on Britain's roads, it means there are 18.5 times as many EVs on the road than there are trained mechanics who can 直す／買収する，八百長をする them.?

Emma Carrigy, 研究経営者／支配人 at the IMI, said: 'Attracting new talent and training 専門家技術者s to work 安全に on electrified 乗り物s does take time, so the 産業 must not be complacent or take its foot off the 新規採用 or training pedals.?

'After all, a 技術s gap is still 予測（する） and could have a 重要な衝撃 on drivers' ability to 持続する and 修理 their electric and hybrid 乗り物s 安全に.'

The IMI 予報するs that by 2030 the 部門 will need more than 107,000 EV trained 専門家技術者s, 増加するing to 139,000 by 2032, and 185,000 by 2035.?

If 現在の training 傾向s continue, it is 推定する／予想するd that there will be a 不足（高） of 30,000 EV qualified 専門家技術者s by the time the 禁止（する） of new ICE 乗り物 sales comes into 軍隊 in 2035.

'As the EV parc 増加するs ? and ages ? drivers and (n)艦隊／(a)素早い経営者／支配人s need to have the 信用／信任 that their chosen garage is a ble to service, 修理 and 持続する their electric and hybrid 乗り物s.,' Emma 追加するd.?
