Questions

What is the difference between the free newsletter and Solid State?

The free newsletter brings every new story and a short note when a chart changes. Solid State adds a members email every week on prices and deals, the monthly Price Watch, the Buyer’s Desk, the Data Drawer and first access to new tools.

How does the Buyer’s Desk work?

Reply to any members email with the cars you are deciding between and what matters to you: range, charging, price, space. We answer with our own numbers and a clear recommendation, usually within a few days.

Where do the figures come from?

The same place our charts get theirs: EPA and WLTP ratings, manufacturer pricing and independent charging tests. Tested numbers and manufacturer claims are always labeled separately.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime, from your subscription settings or the link at the bottom of any email.
