The Fully Charged Podcast The Fully Charged Show

Joining Robert on the podcast this week is Dave Borlace from the Just Have a Think YouTube channel.
 
Dave was with us recently at our Everything Electric LONDON expo, and we just had to get him back here on the podcast.
 
Diving straight into how best we can tackle the climate crisis, along with the pros and cons of small nuclear reactors and off-shore and on-shore wind. We also learn what utter nonsense the WLTP range numbers of EVs are!

Robert also shares the scary fact that the area of land currently being used for golf courses in the UK, if used for renewables could more than satisfy the whole country’s energy demand, and rightly he asks “Do we want Golf or Energy?!”. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below!
 
Once these two get started, they really are UNSTOPPABLE! We hope you enjoy this very entertaining and enlightening chat.

Showcasing our second (digital) fireside chat from our recent Everything Electric LONDON expo, in this week’s podcast episode Robert speaks with Ricky Roy, Fully Charged’s ‘man in America’!
 
Ricky recently got his hands on the new Cybertruck, (that episode is over on our Fully Charged SHOW channel), and when he’s not driving the latest and greatest EVs, he’s engineering his house into the home of the future!
 
The pair also discuss the imminent tidal wave of Chinese cars about to hit US shores and what that means, as well as how our respective countries are managing with all the media FUD.
 
And as a little bonus, we’ve also included Ricky’s podcast with Elliot Richards from last year’s Fully Charged LIVE event in Farnborough for those who missed that, or who would like to listen to it again.

“The idea is to go from numbers to information to understanding” Hans Rosling

EV Battery Boom?
 
Join Quentin Willson and Dr. Euan McTurk as they explore the latest in electric vehicles battery advancements. As a consultant battery electrochemist who has been working on - and driving - EVs since 2009, Euan is one of the UK’s leading experts on EV batteries, and most definitely has his finger on the pulse when it comes to emerging battery technology.
 
During this enlightening discussion, Euan shares the real story on EV battery fires and talks about some of the new battery technologies to watch out for, including solid-state batteries with their impressive range and safety credentials. Could these go mainstream sooner than we think? Quentin and Euan also share views on the battery industry as a whole, and what governments and energy suppliers can do to help the transition to these cleaner technologies.
