Customer Reviews
Interesting even for non-car people !
Even as a non-driver who is just interested in environmental issues and solutions, this is a really entertaining podcast. Engaging hosts, varied guests and fun segments all contribute to a well-balanced and informative listen .
So dull
I’m a big fan of the channel but I just don’t get this podcast. Tom and Ginny are great presenters but this misses the mark For EV fans/experts it’s too vague and boring, and so much of what the ‘electric virgin’ guests say is just plain wrong For people new to EV’s it just raises doubts and questions and doesn’t help to resolve them
