Speaking, Author, EV Expert In May of 2009, Leitman moderated an engaging forum on the intricacies of electric cars. It focused specifically on the pivotal topics of batteries and ethanol. During the panel discussion, the conversation dynamically swung from the pressing need to boost the efficiency of battery technology to a lively debate regarding the merits of biofuels. Additionally, they discussed the potential of hydrogen as an alternative energy source. The conversation even included military spending related to energy innovation and sustainability. This diverse array of subjects highlighted the complexities and challenges of transitioning to cleaner energy solutions in transportation. The forum was skillfully moderated by Seth Leitman, who is well-known for his expertise in green technology and sustainable living. He blogs under the name Green Living Guy and also edits the informative McGraw-Hill’s “[Green Guides](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/07/what-is-intelligent-mobility-ask-nissan/).” In addition, he has achieved best-selling status as an author with his influential books, _Build Your Own Electric Vehicle, Second Edition_ and _Build Your Own Plug- in Hybrid Electric Vehicle_. ## Books So Far Through his work, Leitman aims to empower individuals to embrace electric vehicles and contribute to a more sustainable future through speaking and education. 1.
