Affiliate Disclosure

Updated: January 1, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

The mission of EV Zapster is to empower you with free, high-quality tools and data-driven guides. As a new platform launched in 2025, we are committed to transparency in how we operate. To fund the significant costs of running this service—including server fees, software development, and content creation—we participate in affiliate marketing programs. This disclosure explains how these programs work.

What is an Affiliate Link?

When you click on certain links on our website that lead to a third-party product or service (like a home charger on Amazon or an energy tariff from a utility provider) and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from that retailer. This comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the vendor's site.

Think of it as a referral fee the vendor pays us for sending them a new customer. These links are our primary source of revenue and allow us to keep all our core tools and content free for everyone.

Our Editorial Independence Comes First

This is our most important promise: Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, reviews, or recommendations.

  • Our content is driven by data, research, and a commitment to providing you with objective information.
  • We do not accept payment to write positive reviews or feature specific products.
  • Our primary goal is to help you make the best decision for your needs, regardless of whether it results in a commission for us.

Our Affiliate Partners

We work with a range of partners that are relevant to electric vehicle owners. These may include:

  • E-commerce Platforms: We participate in programs like the Amazon Associates Program, which allows us to earn from qualifying purchases of products like EV chargers, cables, and accessories.
  • Affiliate Networks: We may use networks such as Awin, Commission Junction (CJ), and Impact, which connect us with a wide variety of relevant brands and retailers.
  • Energy & Utility Providers: In some regions, we may partner with energy companies (e.g., Octopus Energy, British Gas) to feature special EV-friendly tariffs. If you switch tariffs through our links, we may receive a commission.
  • Leasing & Finance Companies: We may link to car leasing and financing services that offer deals on electric vehicles.

Compliance with FTC (US) and CMA (UK) Guidelines

We are committed to adhering to the guidelines set by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

  • Transparency: We will always make it clear when content contains affiliate links. You may see disclosures at the top of an article or specific labels like "(affiliate link)" next to a link.
  • Clarity: We ensure our language is straightforward, so you can easily understand when a commercial relationship is in place.

Your Trust is Our Priority

We understand that trust is earned. By being transparent about how we fund our work, we hope to build a long-term relationship with you. Your support, whether through sharing our articles or using our affiliate links, is what enables EV Zapster to grow and continue its mission.
