Steve Schaefer is Micromobility Editor and plug-in vehicle specialist at Clean Fleet Report. He has written a weekly automotive column for almost three decades, testing more than 1,300 cars. Now, he’s focusing on EVs and plug-in hybrids. Steve remembers the joy of riding in his father’s Austin-Healey. After discovering the August, 1963 issue of Motor Trend, he became entranced with the annual model change, and began stalking dealers’ back lots to catch the new models as they rolled off the transporter. Coming from a family that owned three Corvairs, Steve was one of the first Saturn buyers, earning him a prominent spot in their 1994 product catalog. Steve had a Chevrolet Bolt EV and now drives a Fiat 500e. A founding member of the Western Automotive Journalists, Steve is a Climate Reality Leader, trained by Al Gore.
