Bill Moore is a 1969 graduate of Ambassador College, St. Albans, Hertsfordshire, England with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology, which gives him a more sociological perspective on the challenges of clean, sustainable, safe and affordable mobility for everyone.

After a career track that included a decade in the ministry and nearly as long in the airline and Internet publishing industry, Mister Moore launched the EVWorld.Com web site in 1998 and has closely followed the development of electric, hybrid and fuel cell technologies for vehicles ranging from electric bicycles and scooters to hybrid and fuel cell buses. On an average day, the online publication serves some 15,000 user sessions and distributes between 45-55,000 pages of information daily, including text, audio podcasts and streaming video. Prior to starting EV World, Moore wrote software reviews for CNET and has been published in Discover Magazine, Popular Science, Air & Space Smithsonian, and Mother Earth News. He's been interviewed on Central China Television, the BBC and appeared on NPR's Science Friday as a guest commentator.
