We expose their lies."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You often don\u2019t know what you\u2019re getting into with budget parts sites. Sometimes, you might have a good experience where you walk away with components that fit while keeping more money in your wallet. Other times, you learn why the big names charge more. We want to help you avoid the hardship and heartache, so let\u2019s look into an aftermarket seller that\u2019s popping up more and more in search results: Evil Energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick look around Evil Energy\u2019s site shows that they sell miscellaneous products, from fuel hoses and fittings to coilover suspension. Interestingly enough, they all wear Evil Energy branding. It takes some pretty serious capacity to design, develop, manufacture, and sell one part, let alone a big list consisting of products for different vehicle makes, models, and systems. That\u2019s enough to make someone curious, but as we\u2019re about to find out, Evil Energy has way more red flags lurking beneath the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can keep reading to learn more, but if you\u2019re looking for a short summary, Evil Energy is another Chinese rip-off merchant under the same umbrella as SpeLab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Evil Energy and Its Complicated Origins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some posts floating around online claim that Evil Energy is a Canadian company. That\u2019s false. A quick internet sleuthing session shows that people parroting that info have been duped by the company itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evil Energy\u2019s \u201cAbout Us\u201d webpage says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur factories in Canada cover an area of 10,000 square meters and employ over 300 staff members. We are a direct and professional manufacturer of automotive parts, dedicated to providing high-quality and affordable basic components for automotive enthusiasts. We serve clients across the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, exporting over $3 million annually. Our warehouses are located in California, Georgia, and New Jersey, and we offer \u2018Buy with Prime\u2019 service to ensure fast and reliable delivery times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, an Evil Energy press release published to Globe Newswire in 2023 contradicts that info:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith a focus on the car modification enthusiast market, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=3MH1FpKQ9eUJEvipXbCVkY5drf0aOaHHOsgsoSCCabZ_dXXHcLoBHDbopsWf501rjU-J7FRyaQVhUPjfylMqzw==\">EVIL ENERGY<\/a> strives to deliver quality and cost-effective basic accessories. The company&#8217;s manufacturing operations are based in a facility that spans 10,000 square meters located in Zhejiang Province, China. The company employs a workforce of over 300, positioning itself as a direct source for automotive parts manufacturing within the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of those is a lie. The likelihood of Evil Energy employing the same number of people, in identically sized factories, in countries thousands of miles apart is practically zero. And given the Chinese manufacturing industry\u2019s reputation, there\u2019s no good reason to mislead people so they think their parts are coming from across the Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"748\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1.png 748w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1-300x240.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-9-1024x566.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-9-1024x566.png 1024w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-9-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-9-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-9-1536x849.png 1536w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-9.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-7-1024x564.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-7-1024x564.png 1024w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-7-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-7-768x423.png 768w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-7-1536x846.png 1536w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-7.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you search Evil Energy\u2019s listed address in Diamond Bar, California, you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s linked to Infinit Express Logistics LLC.

It\u2019s because that\u2019s where SpeLab\u2019s parent company is based. In case you\u2019re unfamiliar with SpeLab, we recently published an article picking apart all of its false claims and detailing how it steals competitor designs, often with poor results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, Evil Energy and SpeLab coming from the same province in China does not automatically mean they\u2019re related. But there\u2019s more supporting evidence that shows the two are linked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One clear tie between the two is someone who goes by Oliver George, who\u2019s listed by both Evil Energy and SpeLab as a \u201cpartnership manager.\u201d Additionally, the listed contact information is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-1024x566.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-1024x566.png 1024w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-1536x849.png 1536w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-4-1024x571.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-4-1024x571.png 1024w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-4-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-4-768x428.png 768w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-4-1536x856.png 1536w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-4.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there\u2019s the fact that Evil Energy\u2019s website is incredibly similar to SpeLab\u2019s. Many of the parts are unique, but some appear to be practically identical. Just look at this intake manifold and grid heater delete for Ram trucks with the 6.7-liter Cummins engine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-6-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-6-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-6-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-6-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-6-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-6-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-6.png 1706w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1022\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-8-1024x1022.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-8-1024x1022.png 1024w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-8-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-8-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-8-768x767.png 768w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-8.png 1298w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The design you see here was blatantly copied from Banks Power, which developed the <a href=\"https:\/\/bankspower.com\/products\/intake-elbow-42798-pc-2013-2018-dodge-ram-2500-3500-6-7l-cummins\">Monster Ram<\/a> intake and has sold thousands of legitimate examples. It would be one thing if the Evil Energy intake horn worked as well as the product it\u2019s based on, but it doesn\u2019t. Reviews of the SpeLab-branded unit show extremely poor fitment, with some even claiming that a high-pressure fuel line must be manipulated or bent to install the manifold. That should make SpeLab\u2019s part and, by extension, Evil Energy\u2019s a non-starter as those lines are required to handle 30,000 psi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s almost laughable to read some of the reviews on Evil Energy\u2019s site for this part. One customer admits that they skipped the provided instructions to watch another shop\u2019s installation of a Banks Monster-Ram. Since one is a copy of the other, the steps were close enough:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/28f9e908-ce11-4dcf-9a62-cea73fcaf0a1\" width=\"624\" height=\"153\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/8f0361cd-90e9-41a2-ae5f-9180960539c8\" width=\"624\" height=\"112\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though these customer reviews are mostly positive, that\u2019s not always the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Evil Energy and Bad Customer Service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want honest, unfiltered reviews of a company, you often need to visit a third-party site. TrustPilot is one, and Evil Energy\u2019s page there shows more than a handful of one-star ratings. Most of them feature common complaints about frustrating customer service experiences.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/51d69558-456b-4f16-b2c0-a964ec91bf1a\" width=\"624\" height=\"351\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/39d4eb18-2266-49d9-b14d-e19da7ddaceb\" width=\"624\" height=\"464\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/9e200315-8ae4-4b95-b771-401269d01e53\" width=\"624\" height=\"328\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/80fc8690-5fad-4fb6-8aa4-816b11e21570\" width=\"624\" height=\"251\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s obviously problematic when the parts you receive aren\u2019t what you expected, and there\u2019s no easy way to contact a real person at the company. Evil Energy doesn\u2019t list a customer service phone number, instead directing disgruntled buyers to an email address. Several users claim that the responses are horribly slow, frustratingly vague, and ultimately unhelpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, it would be better if these problems never cropped up in the first place. I believe it\u2019s still a customer service issue when parts are shipped in horrible condition. It\u2019s one thing when you can blame the shipping carrier for damaging a box, but when the part itself is in rough shape, the issue runs deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-10-1024x476.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-10-1024x476.png 1024w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-10-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-10-768x357.png 768w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-10.png 1148w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"742\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-11-1024x742.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-11-1024x742.png 1024w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-11-300x218.png 300w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-11-768x557.png 768w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-11.png 1120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"779\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-12-1024x779.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-12-1024x779.png 1024w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-12-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-12-768x584.png 768w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-12.png 1130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hilariously enough, even one of Evil Energy\u2019s five-star reviews says the part they received looked like it \u201cwent through a tornado\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-13-1024x489.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-13-1024x489.png 1024w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-13-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-13-768x366.png 768w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-13.png 1136w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least Frank was taken care of in the end, I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Beware of Evil Energy\u2019s Spreading Influence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might notice Evil Energy popping up more on social media and YouTube, and that\u2019s largely because of the brand\u2019s affiliate program. It partners with content creators who make videos promoting Evil Energy products. That isn\u2019t terribly unusual in the automotive aftermarket, but what is unusual is how those videos are used by the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of them are uploaded to Evil Energy\u2019s YouTube channel as how-to videos. Because Evil Energy doesn\u2019t have access to many of the platforms it sells parts for\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KS0_Kg82PxM\">you won\u2019t find a Hemi V8-powered Ram in China<\/a>\u2014it outsources the installation instructions to affiliates who are encouraged to post on their channels as well. So while you can find hundreds of content creators hawking companies\u2019 products, not often do they double as install specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"880\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-14-880x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-14-880x1024.png 880w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-14-258x300.png 258w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-14-768x893.png 768w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-14-1320x1536.png 1320w, https:\/\/knowyourparts.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-14.png 1628w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evil Energy also hosted visitors at its own 2025 SEMA show booth. It gave away merch and recorded people with good things to say, whose testimonials were later tossed into an AI-narrated compilation. This paints a rosy picture, but as you\u2019ve seen from practically everything else in this explainer article, it\u2019s hardly complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Verdict on Evil Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s true that some people have good experiences with Evil Energy. There are five-star reviews, positive videos, and customers who are satisfied overall. But that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s worth risking your money or your vehicle\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies with no regard for integrity, quality, or customer service aren\u2019t worth buying from\u2014especially since there are other brands out there that pride themselves on all three of those. You can buy the parts you need <em>elsewhere<\/em> because Evil Energy\u2019s parts had to come from <em>somewhere<\/em>. Do yourself a favor and find the original versions of these products, then buy those from the companies that designed them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our goal is to keep you from regretting your parts purchases, and if you become a customer of Evil Energy\u2019s, it\u2019s only a matter of time before you wish you hadn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this investigative report, we uncover the truth behind Evil Energy, yet another Chinese company stealing from U.S. automotive performance parts brands. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":63,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-behind-the-brands"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Exposing Evil Energy as another Chiense knockoff parts brand.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Uncovering the truth behind Evil Energy, yet another Chinese company stealing from U.S. automotive performance parts brands.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Evil Energy is yet another Chinese outfit stealing from American brands.
