Autovolt Magazine is a British automotive consumer magazine published by Autovolt Limited.
Magazine and website[edit]
Autovolt began publishing electric vehicle-related stories and articles in March 2010, before an official launch in July 2013. The first issue of the magazine (available in paper and digital formats) was launched a year later, on 4 July 2014, with a bi-monthly frequency and edited by Jonathan Musk - a motoring writer..[1] The magazine claims to be the longest-running electric vehicle magazine in the UK.[2]
Content and focus[edit]
The magazine's content direction included "electric and hybrid" cars and their surrounding technologies.
Content extended to battery technology, charging infrastructure and power generation, with lifestyle content on electric vehicles in popular culture, electric car racing, Formula E, retrofitting electric powertrains in place of internal combustion engines and related public and trade events. The magazine also included interviews with notable spokespersons leading their respective fields and showcased new and emerging technologies, such as battery breakthroughs or experimental technology (issue one contained an article about a 'flybrid' system[3]).
The magazine pioneered the use of a jargon busting glossary of technical terms included in the back of every issue, which became commonplace amongst EV-focused websites and other publications thereafter, as well as detailed pages dedicated to showing how electric and hybrid vehicles work and their core components. This section was called the 'back pages' and included in every issue. The section was expanded later to include a page about how charge points work and common questions about them.
The magazine was content and feature heavy, relying on subscription and magazine purchases for revenue, and featuring very few print or online advertisements.
Annual Car Awards[edit]
Autovolt magazine ran several annual awards for electric and hybrid vehicles on sale in the UK in their respective years. Notable winners include the Kia Soul EV as the Best Small Family Car in 2015[4][5], the Toyota Mirai as the Best Hydrogen Car in 2015[6] and the Nissan e-NV200 as the Best Electric Van in 2015[7]. 2016's outright winner was the BMW 330e plug-in hybrid[8].
Design[edit]
The magazine adopted a standard magazine format, in portrait orientation, of 8.25" x 10.75".
Availability[edit]
The magazine is principally available via the website www.autovolt-magazine.com. The magazine is currently available by third-party publishing companies Readly (digital only), Magzter (digital only) and MagCloud (print and digital). Autovolt was also available via Yumpu and Amazon, although the latter appears to no longer be the case. 33 issues of Autovolt magazine have been published to date.[9]

Autovolt magazine won the Automotive Consumer Publication of the Year award at the 2019 Newspress Awards, an event centred on the automotive industry in the UK, with editor Jonathan Musk collecting the award[10]
