Blog Profiles: Electric Vehicle Blogs
Welcome to Blog Profiles! Each week, we select a topic and a handful of blogs that do a great job contributing to the conversation. This week’s roundup is dedicated to a few electric vehicle blogs that have recently caught our eye. Do you have a blog that deserves recognition? Tweet our writers at @BeyondBylines.
Even though the International Auto Show (originally set to kick off in late August) was canceled again this year due to COVID, there’s still been some major auto-related news recently. President Biden announced that he wants 50% of all new cars sold in the U.S. in 2030 to be all-electric, plug-in hybrid, or hydrogen-powered.
For anyone missing that auto show news or wanting to learn more about EVs, these blogs dedicated to electric and green vehicles can help.
These electric vehicle blogs cover the latest news, trends, reviews, and products in the green car space.

Electrek is part of the 9to5 network of sites and covers the electric vehicle movement. The well-rounded site covers automakers, alternative forms of transportation (ebikes and buses, for example), autonomous driving tech, and green energy.
For the Tesla fanatics, Electrek features an entire section of the best Tesla accessories for console displays, organizers, chargers, and more. And check out the Quick Charge podcast for a quick recap of the day’s top stories. Most of the posts I read had a nice sprinkling of humor – an added bonus that kept me reading more and more.
