Meet Bill Pierce, America’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Influencer

By EV Charging Summit & Expo, February 21, 2025

In today’s rapidly evolving global automotive industry, electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer just a trend — they are the bold new future of transportation. Mass EV adoption is currently underway in China, and is coming to America and the rest of the world soon. In the United States in 2024, fully gas-powered vehicles sold at their lowest level in modern automotive history.

As the world shifts towards more sustainable practices to fight human-caused climate change, EVs offer an exciting and cost-saving alternative to traditional gasoline-powered internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

However, with this massive technological shift, comes the need for knowledge and insights into the latest developments in the EV industry. That’s where EVInfo.net comes into play.

Bill Pierce is the Publisher of EVinfo.net. Pierce is known as America’s EV Influencer, and he writes thought-leading articles about the electric vehicle (EV) industry worldwide, with a focus on the United States. His website, EVinfo.net, covers every corner of the industry. Pierce is a solopreneur, handling all aspects of the business alone.

EVInfo.net is an informative, user-friendly website dedicated to all things related to all kinds of electric vehicles, whether they move across land, water, or through the air. If you’re an EV industry professional, EV enthusiast, a potential EV buyer, or just someone curious about the environmental and cost-saving benefits of electric vehicles, this platform provides a wealth of information. From the latest news and advancements in EV technology to reviews of new electric cars, trucks, eboats, ebikes or emotorcyles and more, EVInfo.net is a one-stop destination for anyone looking to stay informed about the exciting electric vehicle revolution.

One of the main reasons people choose EVs is their positive impact on the environment. EVInfo.net delves into the eco-friendly benefits of electric cars, exploring how they help reduce carbon emissions, lower energy consumption, and contribute to cleaner air. Additionally, the site provides insights into the lifecycle of EVs, from production to disposal, so consumers can better understand the full environmental impact.

The site covers the current struggles and barriers early EV adopters face in detail, so that new adopters are made aware of the current difficulties. All these barriers are being worked on by passionate EV industry professionals around the world, and things are improving for EV drivers every week.

We sat down with Bill Pierce to discuss his journey as an EV influencer, his mission to accelerate electric vehicle adoption in the U.S., and how EVInfo.net has become a go-to resource for industry professionals and consumers alike. In this interview, Bill shares insights on the latest EV trends, the benefits of electric transportation, and what it takes to build a successful platform in the growing EV space.

When, How, and Why Did You Start up EVinfo.net?

I wrote my first post for EVinfo.net in January 2022, Why Your Next Vehicle Should Be an Electric Vehicle. Since then, I’ve written nearly a thousand more, typically one or more every day. I promote EV adoption around the world and particularly in the United States.

I do this, promoting EV adoption, primarily as an environmental activist, as EVs are the most eco-friendly transportation currently available. I’m deeply concerned about human-caused climate change, and want to do my part.

EVs reduce greenhouse gases from the transportation sector which, in part, cause global warming. NASA reported 2024 as the hottest year on record, so it’s vital we do more to reduce greenhouse gases.

As well as fighting climate change, EVs provide cleaner air. That’s why the American Lung Association supports EV adoption.

The American Lung Association’s report “Driving to Clean Air: Health Benefits of Zero-Emission Cars and Electricity” finds that transitioning to 100 percent zero-emission new passenger vehicle sales by 2035, along with the shift to non-combustion electricity generation, would deliver significant public health benefits.

The American Lung Association, in its Delivering Clean Air: Health Benefits of Zero-Emission Trucks and Electricity report, highlighted significant public health benefits by 2050 as the nation transitions to zero-emission trucks and power. In U.S. counties with major trucking routes, this shift could result in $735 billion in public health benefits from cleaner air. The reduction in pollution is projected to prevent 66,800 premature deaths, 1.75 million asthma attacks, and 8.5 million lost workdays.

EVs also save drivers money for two major reasons. One is that EV charging costs are much lower than refueling ICE cars with gasoline. Another is that EVs have far fewer moving parts than gas cars, and therefore have much lower maintenance costs. EVs are fun and fast to drive, so that is an importa

What Advice Would you Give to Budding Influencers?

All Influencers are essentially marketers, promoting all kinds of things. So for anyone wanting to become an influencer, first I recommend learning everything you can about marketing, unless you have lots of marketing experience. I offer a 30-minute phone call to teach anyone interested in being an influencer on LinkedIn, regardless of what type of influencer you’d like to be. My LinkedIn account now has over 21,000 followers as of this writing. When I started this effort in January 2022, there were only a few dozen co-workers and friends following my LinkedIn account.

I have over 25 years of marketing experience, so when I decided to be an EV influencer, the marketing experience part was ready to go. I’m a marketing generalist, meaning I have experience and skills in a variety of marketing fields, such as web and graphic design, content marketing, event marketing, email marketing, online advertising, market research, and more. See my full skill list.

One of the most valuable skills I utilized when becoming an influencer was knowing how to quickly build followings for companies on social media.

Being a car guy, part of my automotive experience was when I was Digital Marketing Manager at Autobody News (ABN), 2017-2020. Autobody news publishes a national monthly print collision repair magazine.

I was in charge of all digital marketing for the company, and enjoyed many successes. One of those was leveraging ABN’s team to gain over 10,000 high-quality FaceBook (FB) followers (body shop employees, owners, and managers).

Autobody News’ vibrant, very active FB page still held an impressive lead in followers (22K) over its top competitors, FenderBender (12K) and BodyShop Business (13K), as of January 2024. ABN’s competitors are much larger companies with significantly higher marketing budgets. Yet, ABN is beating them on an important social media channel, thanks to my methods. My methods for dramatically increasing followers and engagement for FB are nearly identical to those I use for LinkedIn.

What’s Your Business Model?

Thanks for asking. Most of the content users see on EVinfo.net and my LinkedIn account is free content. I follow a variety of sources for the latest EV news, and write about things that I think my followers would be interested in.

EVinfo.net‘s marketing services are similar to those you’d find at online publications. I offer sponsored articles, interviews, press releases and more. Some of my awesome clients include the EV Charging Summit and Expo, Autel Energy, c.technology, Avanci, and BluWave-ai. There are also many others. I serve the EV industry exclusively.

Just today, I released my first weekly e-news, which I have been promising to my great and passionate followers for many months now. Sign up for my e-news here! https://evinfo.net/contact-us/

Just this week, I started a new service, sponsored LinkedIn articles. My first client was the amazing Tiya Gordon, Co-Founder and COO of it’s electric. The article focuses on how the company announced seven cities for the first year of its nationwide rollout, providing accessible, affordable, and equitable public EV chargers for no cost to the property owner.

What EVs are you most excited about?

Being a car guy, I’m excited that all-electric motorsport is growing fast. In February, Chevrolet announced its revolutionary Blazer EV SS, the fastest SS model the company has ever produced, will pace at the 67th DAYTONA 500. Also, Formula E, the all-electric racing series, is growing fast. Formula One is making bold moves into sustainability. In January,  Ford Performance unveiled its latest groundbreaking creation: the Mustang Mach-E NASCAR Prototype.

Despite all this electric motorsport excitement, what I’m most excited about is the upcoming release of the all-electric Chevy Bolt, which is a new and improved second generation. The reason I’m super-excited about this release is that America has been desperately needing small, low-cost EVs that more drivers can afford, as prices remain high. I predict the Bolt to be a best-seller, and will play a major part in launching America into mass EV adoption.
