    My wife's 2017 i3 Base

    She wants to keep the i3 BUT I told her that SHE will have to pay the insurance on the i3. I currently pay for both our cars but if she wants to keep both, I pay the insurance on the Lightning and she has to pay it on the i3. The i3 is not the cheapest car to insure due to the carbon fiber...
