We believe in full transparency. This page explains exactly how Electric Car Wiki earns revenue and how that affects our content.

ⓘ Amazon Associates — Required Statement

Amazon Associates Program Disclosure

The following statement is required by Amazon and must appear on every page of this site that contains Amazon affiliate links. It is reproduced here in full as our official program disclosure:

“Electric Car Wiki is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.”

FTC Disclosure — Material Connections

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255), Electric Car Wiki discloses all material connections between this website and any company, product, or service we recommend or link to.

Some posts on this website contain affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission — at no additional cost to you.
We may receive free products, review units, or other compensation from companies in exchange for coverage. When this occurs, it is disclosed within the specific article.

Our editorial opinions are our own and are never for sale. Compensation does not influence our product ratings, rankings, or written conclusions.
We only recommend products we have researched, used, or genuinely believe serve our readers’ needs as EV owners.

Our editorial team maintains full independence. A product we were paid to review can still receive a negative or neutral rating if that reflects our honest assessment.

How Our Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link on Electric Car Wiki and complete a qualifying purchase, we earn a small commission from the retailer. Here is what you should know:

No extra cost to you

Affiliate links never increase the price you pay. The commission comes from the retailer’s marketing budget.

Amazon 24-hour cookie

Amazon’s cookie lasts 24 hours. Any qualifying purchase made within that window after clicking our link may earn us a commission, even if it’s a different product.

Commission rates vary

Amazon commission rates range from approximately 1%–10% depending on product category. EV accessories typically fall in the 3%–4.5% range.

Multiple programs

In addition to Amazon Associates, we may participate in other affiliate programs. All such relationships are covered by this disclosure.

Display Advertising Disclosure

Electric Car Wiki displays advertisements served by third-party ad networks. These ads help fund our free content.

Ezoic: We use Ezoic’s ad platform, which uses AI to optimize ad placements and may serve ads from Google’s advertising network and other premium partners.

Google AdSense / Display Network: Ads may be personalized based on your browsing history. You can opt out via Google’s Ad Settings.
Ad placement does not influence our editorial content, product recommendations, or article rankings in any way.
We do not control the specific ads displayed. If you see an advertisement that is inappropriate or misleading, please contact us so we can report it.

For information on how ad-related cookies are used on this site, please review our Privacy Policy.

In-Post Disclosure Policy

In addition to this page, we display a short disclosure notice at the top of every article that contains affiliate links or sponsored content. Here is an example of what that notice looks like:

ⓘ Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, Electric Car Wiki earns from qualifying purchases. This does not affect our editorial independence or the price you pay. Learn more.

This notice appears above the fold on every relevant post, in compliance with FTC guidance that disclosures must be “clear and conspicuous” and placed before the first affiliate link in an article.

Informational posts with no affiliate links display no disclosure.
Posts with sponsored content are labeled “Sponsored” in the post header.
Video embeds from our YouTube channel may contain separate disclosures in video descriptions per YouTube’s monetization policies.

Pricing Accuracy & Amazon API Compliance

Per Amazon Associates Operating Agreement Section 3, we are prohibited from displaying static, hard-coded Amazon product prices in our content, as prices change frequently.

Any prices shown on this site are either sourced via Amazon’s Product Advertising API (PA-API) in real time, or are labeled as approximate figures for illustrative purposes only.
Always verify the current price on Amazon before making a purchasing decision. Prices can change at any time without notice.
Sale prices, coupons, and promotions displayed on Amazon’s site may not be reflected immediately on our pages.

Where PA-API price widgets are displayed, prices are refreshed periodically but may still lag real-time Amazon pricing by up to 24 hours.

Price disclaimer: Electric Car Wiki makes no guarantee as to the accuracy of any product price displayed on this website. Check Amazon.com for the current, live price before purchasing.

Our Editorial Independence Promise

Every product review, buying guide, and recommendation on Electric Car Wiki is produced by our editorial team independently. Our process:

Research-first

We research products using owner forums, spec sheets, and real-world EV owner data before writing any review.

Affiliate links follow content

We choose which products to feature first, then find affiliate links for them — not the other way around.

Negative reviews stay up

We do not remove or alter reviews based on affiliate relationship status. Poor products remain rated poorly.

No pay-to-rank

No company can pay to be ranked #1 in our buying guides. Rankings reflect our independent assessment.

Scope of This Disclosure

This disclosure applies to all pages, posts, and content published on electriccarwiki.com and any associated social media accounts or YouTube channel operated under the Electric Car Wiki brand.

This page will be updated whenever we enter new affiliate relationships or our monetization model changes materially.
This disclosure was last reviewed and updated in May 2026.

If you have questions about whether a specific article contains affiliate links, contact us and we will confirm.

Relevant regulations and guidelines governing this disclosure include: FTC Endorsement Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255, amended 2023) · Amazon Associates Operating Agreement · Google Publisher Policies · California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) · CAN-SPAM Act
