In short
- Some of the outbound links on this site are affiliate links.
- If you click one of those links and end up buying, we get a small commission from the company — at no extra cost to you.
- We only feature companies we'd genuinely point an EV-owning friend at. We don't take money to bend a recommendation.
- Trust Scores for garages in the directory are calculated independently and are not affected by affiliate relationships.
- Every affiliate link is marked with
rel="sponsored"in the page source for SEO + ASA compliance.
What's an affiliate link?
An affiliate link is just a regular outbound link with a little bit of tracking attached. If you click through from The EV Pros, the company you land on can tell where you came from. If you then buy something, the company pays us a small commission as a thank-you for the referral.
The price you pay isn't affected. The commission comes out of the company's marketing budget, not your wallet.
What we link to
We feature companies in five categories that make sense for the EV owners who land here:
- Home EV chargers — Ohme, Pod Point and similar. The thing most new EV owners need to sort within the first month of ownership.
- EV-specific car insurance — LV ElectriX and similar. Standard car insurance often won't cover battery damage or EV recovery to a charge point. EV-specific policies do.
- EV breakdown cover — RAC's EV cover and similar. RAC patrols carry portable EV chargers; that's the kind of detail standard cover misses.
- EV leasing and salary sacrifice — Octopus Electric Vehicles and similar. Salary sacrifice schemes can knock 30-40% off the monthly cost of a new EV if your employer is signed up.
- EV-rated tyres — Black Circles and similar. EVs eat tyres faster than petrol cars because of the instant torque and heavier kerb weight; replacing tyres with EV-rated ones makes a real difference.
How we pick what to feature
The criteria are pretty simple. Would we recommend this company to a friend who'd just bought their first EV? Has the brand got a track record of fair customer service and decent pricing? If yes, we feature it. If not, we don't, regardless of what commission percentage they offer.
Most of the affiliate partners on this site come via AWIN — one of the larger UK affiliate networks. AWIN handles the tracking and pays us a few weeks after the customer has actually bought + the return window has closed. That means we have zero way of altering what you experience on the company's site — we just pass you over.
Does this affect garage rankings or Trust Scores?
No. The directory of garages is the heart of this site. Garages can pay for sponsored placement — that's a separate thing — but the Trust Score itself is calculated independently from real reviews, qualifications, and customer history. No advertiser can buy a higher Trust Score, and no affiliate link affects which garages appear above which.
What we earn
It varies by category. Roughly: home chargers pay £15-50 per sale, insurance pays £10-30 per signed-up policy, leasing pays £50-200 per signed contract, tyres pay around 3-5% of the purchase. Most months it's a fraction of what a single Pro-tier garage subscription brings in.
We mention it because we'd rather be straight about it. If a recommendation here saves you money or hassle, the few quid we make from it doesn't feel like a conflict.
Questions or complaints
If you ever feel something on this site looks like it's been written under affiliate pressure rather than honestly, please tell us — drop a note here and we'll look at it. Same goes if you click a link expecting one thing and land on another — that's a broken affiliate link, not an editorial choice, and we'll fix it.
