Connected car data gives powerful insights

Super interesting report by Cambridge Mobile Telematics highlighting some stark divergences in risk profiles for EV drivers. According to the report:

> drivers of EVs are more likely to engage in risky behaviours like speeding and hard acceleration
> Tesla drivers demonstrate acceleration risks that range from 346% to 406% higher than the average internal-combustion engine (ICE) vehicle driver
> Tesla drivers also had 76% more cornering risk
> Telsa drivers ere 35% less distracted by their smartphones than ICE vehicle drivers,
> drivers are 9% less likely to speed in their Teslas than in their ICE vehicles
> All of that said, Tesla drivers are 48% less likely to crash their Tesla than their ICE vehicle

For me, the report very much highlights the power of connected car type data. As yet mainstream insurers in Australia and NZ are doing very little in this space - happy to be corrected? Will this prove to be a strategic mis-step?
