Yikes, thats weird. I am in the US but saw my insurance drop significantly from the Porsche Macan S to a Ford Mach-e. I have saved around $1800 a year by switching cars!

The weird thing is that they have the same power output, same number of seats and the same technical features (blind spot thingy in the mirrors etc). Ok, so the Ford will have cheaper parts prices, but there is a single large expense in the battery! Go figure.

Just renewed my Skoda Enyaq VRS up £50 from last year to £600 this year, also my wife’s Skoda Enyaq Suite has increased £63 to £450 to be renewed in the next couple of weeks.
I was paying over £400 for a Skoda Octavia VRS, and if I still had my Tesla M3P it would have been £1500 this year.

I do not pay $1800/yr for my Cayenne GTS in NJ. I think we pay about that for my car + an Audi Q3.

Admiral seem to be the best on the comparison sites but worth trying Highway through somewhere like Chris Knott. I'm currently insured with them for my BMW M240i (about £450) and when I enquired about the cost to switch to a Polestar 2 Dual Motor, they were going to refund me about £50 for the remaining 10 months of the policy, that's 12k a year with full NCB and lowish risk postcode.
