About Michele

Michele George founded Electric Car Wiki in 2020 after noticing a gap in honest, practically useful EV coverage aimed at everyday American buyers rather than tech enthusiasts. Her background in automotive journalism gave her a clear sense of what readers actually need when making a vehicle purchase decision: plain language, transparent sourcing, and an honest verdict unclouded by advertising relationships.

As Editor-in-Chief, Michele is involved in every significant article published on the site — setting the brief, reviewing the draft, confirming the score, and signing off before publication. She writes directly on topics where her editorial experience is strongest: long-form EV buying guides, US federal and state incentive analysis, and coverage of the charging infrastructure landscape.

Outside of Electric Car Wiki, Michele is an active EV owner and follows the US EV policy landscape closely, with particular attention to the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act’s tax credit provisions on buyer decisions.

Editorial Approach

  • Every guide she edits is verified against primary sources — EPA, IRS, and manufacturer data — before approval.
  • She applies the same scoring framework to every vehicle or product review, regardless of affiliate commission rates.
  • Content carrying her byline or editorial approval reflects genuine research, not AI-generated text.
  • She reviews the site’s Editorial Policy and How We Test page at least quarterly to keep standards current.

About Tim

Tim Levin joined Electric Car Wiki in 2025 to lead the site’s product review and roundup coverage. He brings a hands-on, consumer-focused approach to every evaluation — less interested in specs on paper than in how a product actually performs in daily use for a typical US driver.

His primary coverage areas are EV charging accessories, home charging equipment, and EV-specific consumer products. He applies the ECW review methodology to every roundup, cross-referencing manufacturer specifications with verified owner feedback before arriving at a recommendation.

Review Approach

  • Evaluates products against the ECW six-criteria scoring framework before assigning a rating.
  • Cross-references manufacturer specs with verified owner feedback patterns, not just star averages.
  • Flags products with known safety, reliability, or value-for-money issues regardless of affiliate relationships.

About Gloria

Gloria W. Hughes joined Electric Car Wiki in 2023 to build out the site’s practical ownership content. Her writing addresses the questions real EV owners ask most often: How do I set up home charging? What’s the best way to maximize range in winter? How does EV conversion work?

Her guides are notable for their step-by-step clarity and their focus on real-world conditions rather than manufacturer-ideal scenarios. She draws on direct EV ownership experience and extensive research into US charging infrastructure to produce content that stays relevant well beyond its publication date.

Writing Approach

  • Focuses on actionable, step-by-step content that a non-technical reader can follow without additional research.
  • Verifies all technical claims — wiring requirements, charger specs, range expectations — against manufacturer and DOE data.
  • Updates older guides as charging standards, vehicle software, and grid infrastructure evolve.

About David

David D. Cole joined Electric Car Wiki in 2023 as a Staff Writer focused on building the site’s foundational EV knowledge base. His content is designed for the large share of readers who are curious about EVs but are not yet familiar with how they work, how they compare to gas vehicles, or what the transition actually involves.

His writing draws on current research and primary data sources — including EPA emissions data, DOE efficiency figures, and manufacturer technical documentation — to ensure that even introductory content is factually precise.

Writing Approach

  • Writes for readers encountering EV concepts for the first time — no assumed prior knowledge.
  • Sources all technical and environmental claims from primary data (EPA, DOE, peer-reviewed publications where applicable).
  • Avoids manufacturer marketing language, preferring independently verified specifications and third-party data.
