Editorial Standards
ChargerFeed covers EV charging infrastructure accurately and plainly, for people who drive, run, fund or build chargers. This page sets out how we report, source, and check what we publish — and how we use AI.
What we report
We report facts about charging networks, station openings, funding awards, standards, home charging hardware, and the companies and utilities in the business. We distinguish clearly between what is open and operating, what has been announced or funded, and what a company or agency projects. Station counts, stall counts, power levels and award amounts carry their source and an as-of date.
Neutral on policy
EV policy is contested. We report what agencies, legislatures and courts decide and what it changes for charging, quoting the people involved and citing the documents. We do not advocate for or against EVs, any program, party or administration, and we keep loaded language out of our own copy.
Sourcing
Every article cites primary sources — Alternative Fuels Data Center station data, Federal Highway Administration and Department of Energy notices, state DOT plans and award documents, network and company announcements, utility and regulatory filings, standards bodies such as SAE International and CharIN, and SEC filings — plus reputable trade and news outlets. Each article cites at least three sources, with at least one primary source, listed openly in a "Sources" section at the foot of the piece. We do not rewrite a single outlet's story.
Prices are attributed and dated
Charging prices, per-kWh and per-minute rates, membership fees and hardware prices change often and vary by site. We attribute every price to its source and date it. We never promise readers a price.
No installation instructions
We do not publish electrical wiring or installation instructions. Home charging coverage explains products, recalls, rates and rebates; installation belongs with a licensed electrician following the manufacturer's instructions and local code.
Fact-checking
Before publication, every article passes an automated review that confirms its sourcing requirements are met and verifies that each cited link resolves to a live page — so readers never hit dead citations. Factual claims are grounded in the cited material; where a figure or date is uncertain, we say so rather than guess. When new data supersedes old reporting, we update.
How we use AI
We are transparent about this: ChargerFeed articles are drafted with AI assistance, working from sources gathered and read for each story. Bylines on this site are AI-assisted desks, and every byline says so. Every article is checked against its cited sources and reviewed by the publisher before release — nothing goes live unreviewed. We do not mass-publish unsourced content.
Our desks
Articles carry a desk byline, each with a defined beat and a published description:
Corrections
Charging projects move, and early announcements change. We aim to be clear about what is confirmed versus expected, and we correct mistakes promptly when they are brought to our attention. To report an error, email [email protected] with the article and the correction.
Independence
Editorial decisions are made independently of any advertising on this site. Advertising relationships, where they exist, never influence what we cover or how we cover it.
Not professional advice
ChargerFeed is an independent publication and is not affiliated with any government agency, charging network, automaker or utility. Coverage is for general information. It is not investment advice, electrical or engineering advice, or a quote of any price. For questions, corrections, or partnerships, reach us at [email protected].
