About Us
About EV Insurance Guide
Independent. Unbiased. Accurate.
Our mission
We started EV Insurance Guide because the existing options were terrible. Insurer-owned blogs that read like sales brochures. Comparison sites that hide behind affiliate fees. Generic motoring publications that treat an EV like a slightly-different petrol car.
Our job is simple: get real insurance quotes, read the actual policy wording, and tell you what we found in plain English. We're not insurers, brokers or affiliates of any specific company.
How we make money
We earn revenue from display advertising (served by Google AdSense) and from clearly-marked affiliate links to comparison sites. Affiliate links are tagged [Affiliate] inline so you can see them.
We never accept payment from insurers to influence our rankings. Insurers do not see our articles before publication. When an insurer is mentioned positively, it's because their pricing or policy genuinely earned that mention.
Our research process
1. We get real quotes
Across at least 10 insurers per article using realistic profile data.
2. We read policy docs
We compare the actual wording, not the marketing summary.
3. Expert review
Every article is reviewed by a relevant licensed broker or analyst.
4. Monthly updates
Pricing tables and rankings are refreshed every 30 days.
