Ginny Buckley
Ginny Buckley focuses on making electric cars understandable and useful for everyday drivers, combining long experience behind the wheel with clear consumer guidance. She is the founder and editor-in-chief of Electrifying, where she steers coverage that helps motorists choose, use and live with electric and hybrid cars with confidence. Her work sits at the intersection of car testing, practical advice and transport reporting, shaped by more than 25 years in broadcasting and automotive journalism.
Making electric cars less intimidating
Buckley’s defining theme is helping drivers feel less daunted by the switch to electric motoring. At Electrifying she set out a mission to make electric cars easier to understand and buying one less intimidating, and her output follows through with straightforward explainers and use-case pieces.
Articles such as her guidance on smart ways to use electric vehicles during a heatwave show her preference for practical, scenario-based advice that treats the car as part of daily life rather than a niche technology. Across the site she writes with a consumer lens, focusing on how real drivers will charge, run and afford their cars rather than just cataloguing technical specifications.
That consumer focus is reinforced by her wider transport reporting, where she covers issues that affect household budgets and everyday journeys as much as industry headlines.
Testing the full range of electric and hybrid cars
Buckley’s coverage spans the electric and hybrid market from mainstream family models to high-end performance cars.
Her recent writing includes deep-dive pieces on forthcoming electric super saloons such as the new Jaguar Type 01, highlighting price points around £100,000, positioning in the market and what early information means for buyers considering a flagship EV. Alongside these, she produces detailed reviews and previews of volume models including the Renault Megane E-Tech, Honda Super-N, Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid and BYD Dolphin G DM-i, consistently flagging key factors like list price and claimed electric range.
In video work she leads comparison tests such as Kia EV6 versus Volkswagen ID.4 to identify the strongest family electric car, and countdown-style guides to the best electric cars under specific price thresholds, which distil testing into pragmatic recommendations for different budgets. Her approach treats each car as a product to be lived with, scrutinising practicality, charging, and usability as closely as performance.
Industry reaction, safety innovation and EV culture
Beyond individual models, Buckley reports on how electric cars are received and debated, and on the safety technologies that underpin them. She has written on Ferrari’s first electric car, the Luce, focusing not just on the vehicle itself but on the internet’s often brutal reaction and what widespread online criticism means for a brand entering the EV space. Another strand of her work examines safety innovation, as in her coverage of Volvo’s claim that some older cars “wouldn’t be accepted today” and the company’s reinvention of the seatbelt and other safety features, framed through what these changes mean for modern motorists. Her role as a juror for the World Car Awards gives her a vantage point across global launches and industry trends, and she frequently draws on that perspective when assessing how new models and technologies fit into the broader shift to electrification.
This mix of cultural reaction, engineering detail and awards-level scrutiny differentiates her coverage from more routine new-car reporting.
Broadcasting and multi-platform transport reporting
Buckley’s journalism is shaped by a long broadcasting career that runs alongside her automotive work. She currently reports on transport and consumer issues for ITV’s flagship current affairs programme Tonight and fronts investigations for Channel 4’s Dispatches, bringing car and transport topics into mainstream news formats. Before launching Electrifying she presented and reported across major television and news outlets including ITV, the BBC, Sky News, CNN and Channel 4, building a track record in explaining complex consumer and infrastructure stories to wide audiences.
At Electrifying she leads an editorial operation that spans its website, YouTube channel, podcast and social media, often fronting in-depth car reviews such as the Volkswagen ID.3 and themed programmes like “The World’s Scariest Electric Cars”. That multi-platform presence means her work reaches viewers and readers who might not seek out specialist motoring coverage, while her consistent focus on transport and consumer angles keeps the subject grounded in everyday experience.

Alastair Crooks
Alastair Crooks is a senior news reporter at Auto Express who covers both new cars and the infrastructure that will support them, tying factory-scale developments to driveway-level reviews. He focuses on electric cars, mainstream launches and UK pricing, reporting on new and electrified models entering the market, their spec, positioning and what they change for buyers. His road tests of SUVs and saloons assess ride, range, interior space, value and running costs, with clear, sometimes blunt verdicts backed by specifics rather than general impressions. He writes news, reviews, features and occasional opinion columns on driving behaviour and in-car tech, drawing on his background as a car salesman, his degree in journalism and his enthusiast experience at car shows and track days. Some of his work also appears in magazine-style formats.
