Nationwide Smartride not designed for EVs

That is not a significant amount IMO for a car that costs as much as the Mach-E GTPE. Might as well get an ER AWD Premium without this insurance nanny - you’ll save far more than having the GTPE because the car costs less in terms of purchase price, will have a lower insurance base rate as I’m sure it’s a lot higher on any GT variant, and can still feel free to engage in shenanigans in a way a nannified GTPE could not because of that device.

My two cents.

Fair enough, though i look at it as, driving slowly for a couple months will pay for Christmas for my kids for the rest of the time I’m in this policy. Once the program is over I send the device back, no more tracking ever and I keep the 40% discount on my policy even if I trade the car. I then get to drive my GT as it’s meant to be driven for the rest of the time I own it. I’d certainly rather do that than save in the front end and drive a slower car for the next several years. To each their own. Really I’m just annoyed that the tech doesn’t understand the difference between a 15 minute warm up in the garage in the morning and 15 minutes idling in traffic. Oh well

OP needs to contact his agent and point out how stupid this is.

Just get an OBD Y or extender cable. Plug it into that and cut all but the power wires on the extender cable. It's always powered up and it looks like you never drive the car. Win win!

Disclaimer: No idea if this will work and probably is a bad idea.
