Mike Askew

A true jack of all trades, Mike spent 15 years working as a motoring journalist, traveling the world testing cars for various magazines on what was effectively one long holiday. Mike splits his time between Electrifying and a global creative agency he founded in 2006. Widely regarded as one of the industry's most available and affordable writers, Mike combines his love for all things design with a tireless (and some say tiresome) obsession with electric cars. A car nerd to the core, Mike was one of just a handful of fools to order a new Renault Twizy – a decision he is still paying for (literally). Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2021, Mike currently owns a Volkswagen ID. Buzz and a BMW i3 and would dearly like to add to his collection of tat with an electric motorbike.
