Electrek is an American news website dedicated to electric transportation and sustainable energy.[2] Electrek is known for its extensive, positive coverage of electric transportation in general and Tesla specifically. Their positive coverage of Tesla has been criticized by some automotive journalists.[3][4][5] Its main authors have disclosed ownership of Tesla stock, substantial profit from referrals to Tesla, and ownership of Tesla cars.[6][2] The owner, Seth Weintraub, also disclosed near total divestment from Tesla stock on January 14, 2020.[7]

History

Founded in 2013 by Seth Weintraub in New York, the site is part of the 9to5 network.[8][9] In 2015, Fred Lambert joined Electrek as a contributing writer, later having been promoted over the years and becoming Editor-in-Chief. [10][11]
