Founder and Managing Director of Fleet Evolution and Co-Founder of Mercia Fleet Management, Andrew Leech, joins host Alex Wolfe on the Wolfe Power Club to unpack the realities of the UK’s electric vehicle transition from the front line of fleet management. With responsibility for more than 1,600 vehicles, Andrew brings rare, lived experience of the highs and lows of the energy transition; including moving too early into green vehicles, navigating years of shifting political signals and helping customers adapt to rapid change in tax, technology and regulation. The conversation explores whether electric vehicles have brought back the “glory days” of the company car, how benefit-in-kind tax has reshaped driver behaviour and which EVs dominated fleet sales in 2025. Andrew also shares what customers are really saying about range, charging costs and infrastructure as the UK falls short of its ZEV targets. Fleet Evolution website: https://fleetevolution.com/ Mark Rober - Can You Fool A Self Driving Car (YouTube) clip: https://youtu.be/IQJL3htsDyQ?si=KiOLuas8oex38jgP Andrew Leech has been around the fleet and employee benefits industry for over 26 years, from a career switch from finance to IT solution. For fleet, Andrew has transitioned to employee benefits and HR software and then an employee benefit centred around electric cars via a payroll deduction introducing EVs to SME’s who previously couldn’t offer salary sacrifice cars. Andrew's interest in electric cars is driven by personal experience, firstly as an asthmatic who realised when he moved to the countryside the improvement clean air can have on everyone's life; and then secondly as a former ‘petrol head’ who realised the experience that EVs offered.  A regular speaker on the university circuit Andrew is an advocate of EVs, not because of the environmental benefits specifically, but moreso because of the performance and convenience. #ElectricVehiclesUK, #EnergyTransition, #FleetManagement Season Two is in Partnership with The Spectator Follow Our Socials Website: https://www.wolfepowerclub.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WolfePowerClub LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfe-power-club/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wolfepowerclub/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wolfe.power.club Wolfe Power Club Production Team Account Manager: Emilia Donovan Director of Government Relations: Max Austin Sales & Development Executive: Jacob Ryder Designer: Nick Pelekanos Editor: Adam Woodward Social Media Manager: Bella Carter Recorded at Studio 55 - that has produced Breaking the Taboo and The ABTO Podcast

    Former Energy Minister and Chair of the Climate Action Coalition Chris Skidmore OBE joins host Alex Wolfe at a critical moment for UK energy policy and clean power. Chris and the Chair of the Climate Change Commitee, Nigel Topping, launch the UK Clean Power Taskforce Report which looks at the electric economy. How do we create census and communicate change? We also get into the detail of Chris' last two years since he resigned from Rishi Sunak's government over the issuing of new oil and gas licenses.  They also explore what must happen next to scale heat pumps, EVs and grid upgrades, the role of government versus the private sector and why the City of London remains central to financing the energy transition and shaping the future of UK energy.

    CEO Jonathan Marren: Beyond Lithium, Solving Wind Energy Storage

    Ever since Kathryn Porter appeared on the podcast, a storm has erupted in the British media, relentlessly tearing into wind energy and branding its storage as hopelessly inefficient. Today we have the CEO of Invinity, Jonathan Marren, who is Britain's largest liquid flow battery producer, who gives the solution. Why isn’t lithium-ion enough for a grid powered by wind and solar?  In this week's episode, Jonathan explains how vanadium flow batteries and long-duration energy storage can reshape the electricity system. Jonathan sits down with our host, Alex Wolfe, to explore the fundamental differences between lithium-ion and flow batteries, what Invinity set out to solve and what global deployments across 17 countries reveal about how long-duration storage is actually used. They also discuss falling battery costs, lessons from China, manufacturing breakthroughs and the policy and investment changes needed to unlock grid-scale storage. Jonathan Marren is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Invinity Energy Systems, a leading developer of vanadium flow batteries for long-duration energy storage, having stepped into the permanent role in September 2024 after serving as CFO/Chief Development Officer (CDO). With over 20 years in energy finance and strategy, Jonathan brings extensive experience from roles at Singer Capital Markets and Peel Hunt, focusing on corporate finance and M&A for energy and cleantech firms before leading Invinity.  LAST REMAINING TICKETS: 'The Wolfe List Launch: Night Before International Energy Week!' is coming Monday 9th February (this will be the best investment of an evening!)
