Corrections Policy

Every article, ranking and vehicle page on Top10EV carries a 'Report an error' link in its footer. Clicking the link opens a short form (or an email) asking for: (a) the URL of the affected page, (b) the specific statement or figure you believe is incorrect, (c) the corrected fact you propose, and (d) the source that supports your correction. You may also write directly to corrections@top10ev.com.

We aim to acknowledge good-faith correction requests within two working days. Automated confirmation emails may be issued immediately.

The relevant editor checks the reported issue against the underlying source data. Where the correction is clearly supported by the source, it is applied to the page. Where the reported issue requires further research — for example, if the manufacturer has since revised the specification — the editor will re-verify against the current primary source before deciding.

We aim to review and act on straightforward correction requests within five working days. Complex requests (for example, those requiring re-running a ranking or reconciling divergent sources) may take longer; where they do, we will update the requester on progress.

When a correction changes a factual statement, the corrected text is updated on the page and a dated 'Correction' note is added to the bottom of the article describing what was changed and why. Where a headline or ranking outcome changes, the change is called out prominently at the top of the affected page. We do not silently rewrite published work.

An 'update' occurs when a fact changes — for example, a manufacturer revises a specification, or a new subsidy comes into force. Updates change the 'Last updated' date and are noted in the article's revision area when material. A 'correction' occurs when a previously published statement was wrong at the time of publication; corrections change both the 'Last updated' date and appear in the correction note.

Each article's correction note remains on the page indefinitely. Removing a correction note requires editor sign-off and is only done when the original statement is restored (for example, if a manufacturer reverses a specification revision). Bulk correction histories for the site are not published as a separate page.

If you disagree with the outcome of a correction request, you may escalate to the editorial lead using the contact below. We do not litigate factual disputes in comments; if a claim cannot be resolved on primary sources, the disputed statement is either removed or reframed to reflect the uncertainty.

Where an article makes a specific claim about a named individual or organisation and that individual or organisation writes to us within a reasonable time with a substantive response, we will assess whether to (a) update the article, (b) publish the response, or (c) append a note. This right of reply does not extend to editorial opinion.
