Bill Moore
Born in Germany in 1947, Bill Moore came to the United States with his parents in 1949 and grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. He graduated from Ambassador College in Saint Albans, Herts, England with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Theology in 1969.
After decades as a professional writer who has been published in Discover Magazine, Popular Science, Smithsonian Air & Space and Mother Earth News, Bill made a career change and entered the then-nascent world of Internet publishing. Bill created EV World in the fall of 1997 and expanded it greatly based on a generous grant from the Energy Foundation in 1999.
Bill has dedicated these last ten years to the passionate development of EV World as the single most important source of information related to electric vehicles. As the result of an all-consuming, seven-day-per-week commitment, Bill has established EV World as the world's definitive source of news, features, advocacy, and the free-flowing transmission of ideas among those who share his interests. Currently, www.evworld.com boasts over 17,000 individual sessions and over 65,000 page-views per day.
Through the years, EV World has offered penetrating insight into the EV industry by way of original articles, many of which are based on interviews with some of the world's top thinkers, including:
General Wesley Clark (NATO general, presidential candidate)
R. James Woolsey (former director CIA)
Matthew Simmons (investment banker)
Paul MacCready (engineer/inventor)
Roscoe Bartlett (Congressman, peak oil advocate)
Bill McDonough (architect, cradle-to-cradle proponent)
Chris Paine (documentary film maker)
Shai Agassi (international businessman)
Bill's dedication to a complete understanding of the global unfolding of the EV industry has taken him around the world many times. With visits that range from Jerusalem's Wailing Wall to Scotland's Hadrian's Wall to Germany's Berlin Wall to China's Great Wall, Bill has logged the miles, interviewed the key
players, and come back home with clean, fair, hard-hitting reporting that sets the standard for today's rapidly evolving EV industry.
It would be difficult to name someone who has had a greater impact on the development of today's EVs and the shape they will take tomorrow. Over a decade ago, Toyota provided Bill with one of the first right-hand drive Priuses to arrive in America. Now, Toyota has come to Bill again for his feedback on the plug-in hybrid, to be offered in the US in 2010. GM dropped off a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid at EV World's headquarters in Omaha recently, asking for Bill input. But whether it's a global OEM or a venture-backed start-up, the EV world counts on Bill for his level-headed approach and sage advice.
Clearly, Bill's presence on the EV World and Associates team provides our clients with a voice of unequalled industry experience and understanding.
