About

Auto Industry Guide publishes plain-English explainers on how the automotive industry works: carmakers and their suppliers, electric vehicles and batteries, and the business side of building, pricing and selling cars. The articles are written for car buyers, students, people starting out in the industry and anyone who wants to understand the headlines.

What we cover

  • Automotive Industry News: how the industry is organised, supply chains, chips, software and autonomy, explained as background rather than breaking news.
  • Electric Vehicles: batteries, charging, raw materials, incentives and how EV forecasts are made.
  • Business News: how carmakers and dealers make money, prices, tariffs, inventory and leasing.

Independence

Auto Industry Guide is an independent educational website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any carmaker, supplier, dealer, analyst firm, publication, company or brand it writes about, or with any former publisher of this domain. Companies and products appear only as neutral, sourced examples.

The site sells nothing. It offers no subscriptions, reports, events, advertising packages, registrations or enquiry service.

How articles are made

Each article is researched from public, authoritative sources such as government agencies, standards bodies, official statistics and published research, and lists its sources. Figures and forecasts carry their date and source. Articles are general information only and are not financial, investment, legal or purchasing advice.
