Andrei writes and makes videos for InsideEVs. He is based in Bucharest, Romania, but he has written about cars almost exclusively in English, with work published by Carscoops, TopSpeed, BMWBLOG, SlashGear, MakeUseOf, DriveMag, and autoevolution.

He is an enthusiast first, so he cares about how cars feel as much as what they can do on paper. As the industry moves deeper into the EV age, Andrei wants to see more electric cars that are not just efficient and quick, but genuinely sporty, communicative, and fun to drive.

He also runs One Tire Fire, his own enthusiast-focused YouTube channel.
