About EV Select

EV Select is an independent Australian website covering electric vehicles: news, launches, recalls, pricing, buyer's guides, real-world range context and a national fast-charger map. It is written for people buying, owning or thinking about an EV in Australia. EV Select is based in Melbourne. Our sister site EVChoice compares electric cars across markets worldwide.

Articles are published under the name “EV Select”. They are not credited to individual writers.

Editorial policy

• Primary sources first. We base stories on primary sources wherever we can: manufacturer announcements, price lists and specifications; official registers such as the federal vehicle recalls register; VFACTS and EV Council sales data; government, regulator and parliamentary documents; and company filings.
• Secondary reports are attributed. When a detail comes from another publication, we name the outlet in the text and link to it in the Sources list.
• Confirmed vs reported. We keep what an official source confirms apart from what has been reported or claimed. Where it matters, articles say which is which, and overseas recall or pricing details are not assumed to apply in Australia unless an Australian source says so.
• Sources listed. Every original article ends with the sources it relies on.
• Breaking items. Short breaking-news items on the homepage are summaries in our own words, and each links to the original post.
• No invented numbers. Where a price, range or specification hasn't been published, we leave it blank or say so. We don't estimate it.

Corrections and updates

If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. When an article changes in a material way, for example a new official notice, a price or a correction, we add a visible “Updated” note with the date and keep the original publication date. To report an error, use our contact page.

Image policy

We use official manufacturer press images where the media terms allow editorial use, and openly licensed photos, mainly from Wikimedia Commons, under their Creative Commons licences. Captions say when a photo shows an overseas or show car rather than an Australian-delivered vehicle. Photographers and licences are credited on the image credits page.

Independence

EV Select does not accept payment for coverage, rankings or placements in articles, guides or the vehicle database. If that ever changes, any paid or sponsored content will be clearly labelled, and so will any commercial relationship relevant to a story.

How we use AI

EV Select uses AI tools to help research, draft, source images and publish articles, and to maintain the site and its vehicle data. Before an article goes live, it is checked against the sources it cites, reported claims are labelled as reported, and image licences are verified. The site owner sets these rules. AI can make mistakes. If you spot one, please tell us and we will correct it as described above.
