About Electrek

Electrek is a creator with a presence on YouTube (214,000 followers), Instagram (33,590 followers), based in United States. Their content sits in the electric vehicles & ev news space. Their YouTube bio reads: "Electrek is a news site tracking the transition from fossil fuel transportation to electric and the surrounding clean ecosystems. The site is part of the 9to5 network, which includes 9to5mac.com, 9to5Google.com and 9to5Toys.com.". The full audience and engagement breakdown is below.

Brand fit

Why brands partner

Electrek operates squarely at the intersection of electric mobility, clean energy, and automotive technology, making it a natural fit for EV manufacturers, e-bike brands, EV charging infrastructure companies, home energy storage providers, and green-tech hardware makers. The audience skews heavily male and is concentrated in English-speaking markets, with the United States as the dominant geography supplemented by meaningful reach into the UK, Canada, and Australia—a useful Tier-1 Anglosphere footprint for brands launching or scaling across those markets. Content cadence is strong, with near-daily publishing across YouTube and Instagram, and engagement sits above the category median, signaling an active, topic-invested community rather than passive followers. Hashtag usage and recent post subjects confirm an editorial focus on test drives, EV news, and hands-on product reviews, giving sponsors a clearly defined and contextually relevant integration window. Demonstrated deals with e-bike brands Engwe and Happy Run confirm the channel's ability to convert product-review formats into paid partnerships; logical adjacent targets include EV charging hardware, automotive software subscriptions, residential solar, and energy-management platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Electrek part of the 9to5Mac network?

Yes, Electrek is part of the 9to5 network, the same media family behind 9to5Mac, 9to5Google, and 9to5Toys. While those outlets focus on Apple, Android, and consumer deals respectively, Electrek covers the transition from fossil fuel transportation to electric vehicles and clean energy ecosystems.

Is Electrek biased toward Tesla?

Electrek is widely perceived as having a pro-Tesla lean, largely because Tesla coverage has historically made up a significant share of its editorial output and the site grew in parallel with Tesla's rise. That said, Electrek also covers competing EVs from manufacturers like GM, Hyundai, and Rivian, and does report critically on Tesla when warranted.

Does Electrek have a website, or is it just a YouTube channel?

Electrek's website is its primary platform, reportedly drawing over 20 million views per month — far beyond what its YouTube channel alone accounts for. The YouTube and Instagram accounts extend the brand into video and social, but the core journalism and breaking EV news lives at electrek.co.

Does Electrek cover e-bikes, or just electric cars and trucks?

Electrek covers the full range of electric mobility, including e-bikes and electric motorcycles alongside passenger cars and commercial trucks. The channel has published hands-on reviews of models like the Juiced Nomadix R electric dirt bike and original reporting on brands like Juiced Scrambler.

Has Electrek reported on the Tesla Semi going to Europe?

Yes, Electrek has covered Tesla's plans to bring the Semi into European markets, framing it as part of the broader push to electrify commercial freight. This fits Electrek's editorial mission of tracking EV expansion across all vehicle categories, not just passenger cars.

What e-bike brands has Electrek partnered with for sponsored content?

Electrek has run sponsored content partnerships with e-bike brands including Engwe and Happy Run. These deals reflect the site's expanding coverage of electric two-wheelers as part of its wider mission to document the shift away from fossil fuel transportation.

Did Electrek say GM fixed EV charging?

Electrek published content framed around GM making significant improvements to its EV charging experience — a headline style typical of Electrek's direct, shareable editorial voice. The piece examined changes GM introduced to address longstanding frustrations around public charging reliability and cross-brand compatibility.

Does Electrek test electric dirt bikes and off-road e-motos?

Yes — Electrek has done hands-on tests of electric off-road bikes, including a ride on the Juiced Nomadix R, an e-moto capable of hitting 70 MPH. This reflects the outlet's deliberate expansion beyond four-wheeled EVs to cover the growing electric two-wheeler market.

Does Electrek cover the Hyundai Ioniq 6?

Yes, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 features in Electrek's EV news and comparison coverage, and the model appears among the site's most-used content tags. Hyundai's electric lineup is regularly covered as a meaningful rival to Tesla in the mainstream EV segment.

Is Electrek mainly for American EV fans, or does it cover global electric vehicle news?

Electrek is US-based and draws the large majority of its audience from American readers, but its reporting spans global EV markets — including European policy shifts, international Tesla developments, and Asian automakers entering the space. Readers in the UK, Canada, India, and Australia also make up a notable share of its audience.
