InsideEVs

U.S. left-center (EV-industry specialist)

Background

InsideEVs was founded in April 2012 as an independent publication dedicated to electric vehicle news, reviews, and data. In February 2017, Motor1.com — itself a property of the then-emerging Motorsport Network — acquired the site and brought in veteran green-car journalist Sebastian Blanco (former editor-in-chief of AutoblogGreen) to lead its editorial team. Motorsport Network, founded in 2015 and privately held, built a portfolio of automotive and motorsport brands that collectively draw tens of millions of monthly readers; GMF Capital took a minority stake in the network in 2023. InsideEVs earns revenue primarily through display and native advertising aimed at an audience of EV enthusiasts and prospective buyers. Media bias trackers (Media Bias/Fact Check, Ground News) place it in the left-center range, noting emotionally loaded headline writing alongside high factual accuracy. No major retractions or editorial scandals are on record. Since January 2025, the outlet has provided extensive and generally critical coverage of Trump administration actions affecting the EV sector — including the repeal of the $7,500 consumer tax credit, rescission of Biden-era EV sales targets, and cuts to federal charging infrastructure funding — consistent with its pro-EV editorial identity.
