Mike Askew

A true jack of all trades, Mike spent 15 years working as a motoring journalist, traveling the world testing cars for various car magazines on what was effectively one long holiday. After a brief 12 year stint as head of Weymouth's third-best design agency, Mike returned to the world of automotive journalism with Electrifying.com, combining 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. He currently owns a Hyundai IONIQ 5 and BMW i3 and can usually be found hanging around rapid chargers on the A34 (trying to get them to work). He was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2011.
