Electric Future is an independent publication about the cars, technology and design reshaping how we move.
We do two things. We cover electric vehicles, concept cars and the future of transportation with a particular eye on design: not just how things work, but how they look, what they signal and whether the craft matches the ambition. And we build free tools for people actually buying an EV, like the EV Range Chart, the Charging Speed Chart, the Supercharger Tracker and Best EVs of 2026.
The move away from combustion is one of the most consequential design moments in a century, and it deserves coverage that reflects that. We are selective. Not every announcement makes it here, only the ones worth a close look.
Who makes it
Electric Future is edited by Ben VanderVeen, a product design leader based in Portland, Oregon. Ben has spent two decades designing software and data products, including leading design for enterprise programs with Apple, Nike and Microsoft, and he is a co-inventor on a patented AI-powered ranking interface. Before any of that, he spent 2004 to 2007 leading solar installation projects for off-grid clinics, schools and homes in East Africa, which is where his interest in clean energy began.
That background shapes the site. Our charts are built the way a good product is: start with what people are actually trying to decide, show the real numbers, and be honest about what a number cannot tell you.
Electric Future is part of Moss and Fog Media, the independent media company Ben founded in 2009.
How we check the numbers
- Range is the EPA rating unless we say otherwise, checked against fueleconomy.gov. Cars sold only in Europe or China are converted from WLTP or CLTC ratings, and we label those as estimates.
- Tested and claimed are never mixed. When an independent tester has measured a charge time, we use it and name the tester. When only the automaker’s figure exists, we say so. On our charts, solid bars are measured and hatched bars are claims.
- Prices are starting MSRP before destination, taken from automaker pricing, and we say when we last checked.
- Every tool shows its sources and its date. If a page has not been checked recently, the date will tell you.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it and note the change on the page. If you spot an error, a stale price or a car we are missing, email hello@electricfuture.org and tell us where. We read every message.
How the site is paid for
Everything on Electric Future is free to read and use. Readers who want more can join Solid State, our members newsletter on EV prices and deals. Some gear and accessory posts include affiliate links, which earn us a small commission at no cost to you, and those posts say so near the top. Automakers sometimes lend us press photos, which we credit, but no automaker reviews or approves what we publish.

For tips, pitches, corrections or just to say hello: hello@electricfuture.org. Designers and students can also submit concept work for us to feature, credited and linked.
