EVThrottle is an independent automotive publication based in the United States. We cover cars, motorcycles, and electric vehicles for American readers. This page explains how we decide what to cover, how we research our stories, and what happens when we get something wrong.
How we find stories
We track manufacturer announcements, auto shows, regulatory filings, earnings reports, and the daily news cycle. We also pay attention to what readers ask about — if a lot of you are wondering whether a new EV is worth waiting for, that's a story. We don't take story assignments from manufacturers, dealers, or advertisers, and nobody can pay to become a story.
How we research
We start with primary sources: the manufacturer's own announcement, EPA fuel-economy data at fueleconomy.gov, Department of Energy and EIA figures, and company earnings reports and filings. For context and second opinions we rely on established automotive press — outlets like Autoblog, InsideEVs, Electrek, and Car and Driver — and we link to them inline so you can check our work yourself. Specifications and prices are verified against the manufacturer's published figures before anything goes live.
Analysis, not just specs
A list of specifications isn't an article. We aim to tell you what a story means for you as a buyer or an enthusiast: why it matters, how it stacks up against the competition, and what to watch next. If we don't have anything useful to add beyond the press release, we don't publish.
Corrections
We correct factual errors as soon as we become aware of them. When a correction is significant — a wrong price, range figure, or on-sale date that could affect a buying decision — we note it at the bottom of the article with the date it was fixed. Typo and style fixes are made silently. If you spot an error, email corrections@evthrottle.com. We read every message.
Independence
Manufacturers and dealers do not review our copy before publication, and coverage is never for sale. A company can't pay for a positive review, pay to kill a negative one, or buy its way into a comparison. Display advertising (through Google AdSense) is kept separate from editorial — advertisers get no say in what we cover or how we cover it. Our full advertising and affiliate disclosures live on our disclosures page.
Conflicts of interest
Our writers disclose relevant financial interests, such as owning stock in a company they cover. Affiliate relationships are disclosed on our disclosures page and never influence ratings, rankings, or recommendations.
Appeals
If you believe we've been unfair or inaccurate and the corrections process didn't resolve it, email corrections@evthrottle.com with "Appeal" in the subject line and an editor will take a second look with fresh eyes.
Rumors, leaks, and embargoes
We label rumors as rumors. If a story rests on an unconfirmed report, a spy photo, or a supply-chain leak, we say so in the first few paragraphs — who reported it, and how solid their track record is. We don't dress up speculation as fact to win a news cycle. When we agree to an embargo — a manufacturer shares details early on the condition we publish at a set time — we honor it, and we say so when the story goes live.
Anonymous sources
We prefer named sources, full stop. On rare occasions — a factory worker describing conditions on the line, a dealership employee confirming a markup policy — a source may have a legitimate reason to stay anonymous. When that happens, an editor knows the source's identity, we've verified what they told us independently wherever possible, and we explain to you why anonymity was granted. You won't find unattributed claims in our stories without a reason you can read.
Tips from readers
Some of our best stories start with a reader email. Spotted a price change, a new model testing in the wild, or a dealer doing something interesting? Send it to tips@evthrottle.com. We protect the privacy of tipsters who ask us to, and we verify everything independently before publishing. A tip is a lead, not a story.
