I write about the auto industry with an emphasis on electric vehicles.
What I Cover
I cover an array of issues raised by the shift to battery-powered cars, including the effect on jobs in the auto industry, the environmental impact of mining for raw materials, the challenge to traditional carmakers from newer companies such as Tesla and Chinese firms like BYD, regulatory policies, and efforts to create an American supply chain that is not dependent on China.
My Background
I’ve been a journalist for more than 40 years, including more than 25 years in Germany. I was European regional editor for BusinessWeek magazine, based in Frankfurt, before joining The Times in 2010 as European economics correspondent. Since 2021 I have worked from the New York newsroom. I’m the author of “Faster, Higher, Farther: How One of the World’s Largest Automakers Committed a Massive and Stunning Fraud.” I have a bachelor’s degree from Hampshire College and a master’s degree in history from Trinity College in Hartford, Conn.
Journalistic Ethics
As a Times journalist, I share the values and adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in The Times’s Ethical Journalism handbook. I don’t directly own stock in any of the companies I cover, and I don’t go on car company junkets or accept free loans of vehicles except for short test drives.
