Sebastian is a jack of all trades for EV Geek Studios, serving as a host, editor, writer, and more. Sebastian is no stranger to driving Electric, with his electrification journey starting back in 2020 when he bought his Chevy Volt (which he basically never drove beyond its battery range). In 2023 he bought his Chevy Bolt EV, which he has since driven 50,000+ Electric miles with it. When he's not out driving cars and working on EV Geek stuff, Sebastian loves spending time in the woods, fixing things, or with his wife and daughter.
