Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated June 5, 2026

EV Quiz is free to use and carries no ads. It stays free because some of the outbound links on this site are affiliate links. This page explains exactly how that works, in keeping with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidelines (16 CFR Part 255).

What an affiliate link is

When you click certain links — for example to TrueCar, Edmunds, Amazon, or other partners — and then take an action such as buying a car or a product, we may earn a referral commission. It costs you nothing extra. The price is identical whether you arrive through our link or on your own.

Programs we participate in

These include automotive referral partners (such as TrueCar and Edmunds) and the Amazon Associates program, among others. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. The specific partners can change over time.

The line we don't cross

Affiliate relationships do not influence which vehicles EV Quiz recommends. The recommendation engine ranks vehicles by range-per-dollar within your stated body type and budget — identically for every visitor, and identically whether or not a partner program exists. If a great EV had no affiliate program at all, it would still rank exactly the same. The verdict logic (yes / maybe / not yet) is a pure function of your answers. You can read the full methodology, with every rule sourced from the code.

Why we tell you

Two reasons. First, the FTC requires clear disclosure of material connections, and we agree with the rule. Second — and more importantly — trust is the entire product. A "should I buy an EV?" tool is worthless the moment you suspect it's just steering you to a sale. So we'd rather over-disclose.
