About

Roadside Take is a news-and-commentary show about electric vehicles: what changed this week, what it means, and what it costs you.

How we work

Facts are sourced

Every factual claim comes from a published source, and the links are in each video description. Numbers, quotes and names are checked against those sources before an episode is made.

Takes are labeled

Opinions are marked as a take on screen, so you always know which part is reporting and which part is our view. Disagree? Leave your take in the comments.

A human reviews every episode

Every episode and Short is reviewed and approved by a person before it is published.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it. We pin a correction in the video's comments and note it in the description. To report an error, see Contact.

The hosts

All four hosts are fictional, illustrated characters with AI-generated voices. They are not based on real people, and no real person's voice is cloned. Their portraits and the studio are AI-generated illustrations. Meet the hosts.

The fine print

Commentary only. Not financial advice. Not affiliated with any automaker.

Roadside Take is independent. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any automaker or charging network. Company and product names are used only to report the news.

Photos in episodes are openly licensed or used with permission, and credited on screen and in the description.
