    Is Petrol *Ban* a Massive Mistake? And how has BMW engineered around it?

    Let's be honest, most legacy manufacturers are struggling with the switch to electric, leaving an opening for hordes of new brands, and yet BMW seems to be on-board with an all-electric future. But what are BMW's views on the internal combustion *ban*; is it a massive mistake? Our expert host, Imogen Bhogal (once with OEMs Jaguar Land Rover & ARRIVAL), talks candidly to Glenn Schmidt, BMW's Vice President Global Sustainability, about significant strides made by the automotive giants.   Why not come and join us the latest electric BMWs, along with many other brands at our next Everything Electric expo later this week, or later this year: https://everythingelectric.show   EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 EE SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park - 18th - 20th Sept 2026   To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show   Check out our sister channel Everything Electric CARS: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow   Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff   Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow   Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above   Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0   Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/   Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show   Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec   Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric   #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk

  4. Why Electrification Could Cut Global Energy Use in Half!

    Why Electrification Could Cut Global Energy Use in Half!

    In this episode of the Everything Electric Podcast, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Professor Jan Rosenow, Professor of Energy and Climate Policy at Oxford University, to reveal why electricity currently only tells 20% of the global energy story. They delve into tackling the "hidden 80%", the mobility and heating sectors still dominated by fossil fuels; and explore why our current system is "astonishingly inefficient," wasting two-thirds of all energy inputs as heat. Jan explains how shifting to electrification at scale could cut total global energy demand in half and tackles the biggest myths and milestones of the transition: The Grid Threat: Why data centers pose a more significant regional challenge to the grid than 100 million electric vehicles. Critical Materials: Is the world really running out of lithium, or are we entering an era of "urban mining" where 95-97% of battery materials can be recycled? The China Factor: A look at the "mind-blowing" scale of solar adoption in China and the declining utilization of their coal plants. Beyond Climate: Why electrification is now a primary lever for energy security and economic resilience in a volatile world. From the efficiency of heat pumps to the emergence of industrial heat batteries , this episode connects the dots on what the next phase of the energy transition really looks like.     00:00 A little error... 03:22 Fragile Fuel Systems and Global Crises 05:53 The Myth of North Sea Energy Security 07:44 The Colossal Scale of Global Oil Consumption 08:44 The 20/80 Rule: Why Electricity Isn't Everything 10:41 Efficiency: Why Electrification Halves Energy Use 12:47 China's Solar Revolution and Coal Reality 15:52 The Mindset of the New Generation of Engineers 18:51 Market Tipping Points: Cheaper, Faster, Lighter 22:26 Data Centers vs. EV Grid Impact 28:04 Raw Materials, Lithium Mining, and Circular Economies 34:02 SMRs, Fusion, and Carbon Capture: The Reality Check 41:41 Energiewende and Global Energy Access 48:14 The Next Big Thing: Industrial Heat Batteries 52:40 Domestic Advice: Batteries vs. Solar   Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: www.everythingelectric.show    Check out our sister channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/EverythingElectricShow   Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show   EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026  EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 EE SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park - 18th - 20th Sept 2026   Tags: #EnergyTransition #Electrification #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #ClimateSolutions #EnergyEfficiency #ElectricVehicles #EVs #HeatPumps #Decarbonization #Sustainability #FutureOfEnergy #CleanTech #GreenTechnology #EnergySecurity #BatteryRecycling #CircularEconomy #Lithium #UrbanMining #ChinaEnergy #GlobalEnergy #ClimateAction #LowCarbon #EverythingElectric #JanRosenow

    From Red Dwarf to The EV Revolution: In Conversation With Robert Llewellyn!

    In this special, and slightly sillier episode of the Everything Electric podcast, Imogen Bhogal turns the tables on our founder, Robert Llewellyn.    As Robert celebrates his 70th birthday, the pair look back on an extraordinary six-decade career spanning bespoke shoemaking, fringe comedy, cult sci-fi fame, and becoming one of the world's leading voices for electric vehicles and clean energy.    They chat about Robert's time on Red Dwarf and the show's enduring legacy as one of the BBC's most-watched programmes (outperforming Top Gear, dare we say it?). There are also fond memories of Scrapheap Challenge, the bizarre Mojave Desert story involving a children's deckchair and a 3,500-foot flight, the hidden psychology behind the Carpool series, and of course, Robert's slightly alarming habit of writing far too many books.

    2025 Wrapped: EV Myths, Dream Cars & 2026 Predictions!

    Join Robert Llewellyn, Jack Scarlett, and Imogen Bhogal for a special year-end wrap-up as they take a mystery tour through the biggest moments of 2025, from unforgettable shoots, to the clean tech stories that really mattered, and share their bold predictions for what's coming in 2026. They kick things off by debunking the myth that EV sales are collapsing, revealing that global battery-electric vehicle sales are actually up 19% year-on-year. From there, the trio dive into their personal "Magic Money Tree" dream garages, featuring the Polestar 5, Kia EV9, the gloriously childish Ioniq 6 N, and Jack's verdict on the potentially game-changing BMW iX3.  There are also behind-the-scenes stories from some of the year's most memorable shoots — including the legendary solar safari in Namibia and the huge electric ferry project in Hobart. To wrap up, the team looks ahead to 2026, with predictions on a potential British automotive revival, the long-awaited arrival of truly affordable small EVs and whether Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is finally ready for the mainstream.

    The Real Reason Why Charging is SO Expensive...

    In this episode of the Everything Electric podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Tom Hurst, UK Country Director for Fastned, to pull back the curtain on the UK's rapid charging revolution. Tom explains why Fastned is moving beyond simple "parking bays with plugs" to build high-visibility, amenity-first charging hubs that keep you sheltered from the rain and your battery topped up at speeds of up to 400kW. They also dive into the "mammoth" joint venture with Places for London (TfL's property arm) and why legal contracts, not just grid power, are often the biggest hurdle to a seamless charging experience.   00:00 Welcome to Everything Electric 01:40 Who is Fastned?

  13. Australia's EV Battleground: Tesla, BYD & the Electric Price War!

    10/27/2025

    Australia's EV Battleground: Tesla, BYD & the Electric Price War!

    In this episode, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Feann Torr from  @carsales  to unpack the electric vehicle revolution transforming Australia. From BYD and MG to Tesla and Hyundai, they discuss how Chinese automakers are shaking up the industry and driving EVs to become the most affordable option on the market. Feann shares his insights into the rapid rise of EV interest — growing from 30% to 37% of Australian car buyers — and explains how China has become the country's third-largest source of car imports. They also discuss how Chinese EVs are winning the price war, the psychological shift that's making electric cars feel like "just another car" to new buyers, and why the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is converting even the most loyal V8 fans. \ Finally, Feann and Robert couldn't help but get just a little excited about the groundbreaking potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology and what it could mean for an energy-independent Australia.  https://www.carsales.com.au/ 00:00:07 - Global EV Adoption: Norway, China, and the General State of Growth 00:01:47 - Introducing Feann Torr & Carsales Australia's Editorial Focus 00:02:38 - EV Price Parity: The Electric Car is Becoming the Cheapest Option 00:04:30 - Feann's Background, from Video Games to the Automotive Crossroads 00:06:08 - The Chinese EV Invasion in Australia (BYD, GWM) 00:08:45 - The Psychology of EV Adoption: EVs as "Just Cars" 00:09:52 - Country of Origin: Dealing with Geopolitical Pushback 00:12:06 - The Shifting Mindset: Diminishing EV Resistance (Australia's 8% Market) 00:14:14 - The Narrowing Cost Gap & The Arrival of Sub-$30,000 EVs 00:16:17 - Chinese Cars Overtake Korean Brands in Australian Imports 00:18:20 - Shock at the Shanghai Motor Show & Chinese Tech Dominance 00:20:51 - Mainstream Japanese Brands (Mazda/Toyota) Partnering for EV Platforms 00:23:49 - The Rapid Growth of Australia's Charging Network (EVIE, Charge Fox) 00:27:07 - On-Street Charging Rules and Innovative Lamppost Chargers in Sydney 00:30:16 - Tesla's Dominance Challenged by New, Affordable Chinese Rivals 00:33:38 - The Value of the Everything Electric Test Drive Experience (130k Drives) 00:37:07 - Carsales Survey Data: Rising EV Consideration (30% to 37%) 00:39:06 - The Secondhand EV Market & Steep Depreciation (Good for Buyers) 00:43:57 - Busting the Battery Replacement Myth (CATL's 90-Year Battery) 00:50:31 - The Enthusiast Market: V8s vs. High-Performance EVs (Hyundai Ioniq 5 N) 00:56:45 - The Argument for Energy Independence & Australia's Solar Capacity 01:03:00 - The Future: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Powering Your Home from Your Car 01:05:01 - Beyond Cars: Electric Skateboards, Ferries, and Flying Vehicles 01:08:29 - Final Thoughts and Conclusion Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel Everything Electric CARS: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show Everything Electric MELBOURNE - Melbourne Showgrounds 14th, 15th & 16th November 2025 Everything Electric SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park 6th, 7th & 8th March 2026 EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026 EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026   #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk #australia #byd #tesla #hyundai

  16. Renault CEO on Affordable EVs, Regulation, and Europe's Small Car Future

    Feb 23

    Renault CEO on Affordable EVs, Regulation, and Europe's Small Car Future

    Is regulation slowing down affordable EVs and can iconic small cars help fix it?! In this episode of the Everything Electric Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Fabrice Cambolive, CEO of the Renault brand and Chief Growth Officer, at Renault's Techno Centre outside Paris. They discuss what it will really take to make electric vehicles affordable in Europe; from the rebirth of the Renault Twingo to the regulatory changes shaping the industry. Fabrice reveals that 25% of Renault's engineering capacity is currently focused on navigating shifting European regulations, arguing that greater stability (without compromising safety) would allow manufacturers to concentrate on lowering costs for consumers. The conversation also explores the proposed M1E category for compact EVs under 4.2 metres, potentially Europe's answer to Japan's kei cars, and why Renault has decided to continue pursuing hybrids alongside fully electric models. Finally, Fabrice explains why bringing back icons like the Renault 5, Renault 4, and Twingo is about more than nostalgia and is all about trust, loyalty, and long-term value in an increasingly competitive market (ergo. China..) 00:00 Intro & Welcome 01:42 What does CEO of the Brand mean? 06:08 Why Renault is still thinking about hybrids 08:48 "Pluggable" vs. "Non-pluggable" customers 13:11 The M1E Category: Europe's answer to the Kei car? 15:43 Why regulations drive up EV costs 17:05 Why the Renault Zoe was discontinued 20:52 Reimagining the Twingo 25:24 Leveraging nostalgia and icons 32:17 Renault vs. Dacia: Managing the brand overlap 35:58 The future of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) 41:04 Fabrice's 2026 geopolitical magic wish Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel Everything Electric CARS: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026 EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 EE SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park - 18th - 20th Sept 2026 #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk #EverythingElectric #ElectricVehicles #EV #AffordableEV #Renault #Renault5 #Renault4 #Twingo #ElectricCars #EVNews #FutureOfMobility #CleanTransport #SustainableTransport #EuropeanEV #CityEV #SmallCars #EVPolicy #AutoIndustry #MobilityInnovation #EnergyTransition #EVPodcast

    Australia's EV BOOM: Affordable Cars, V2G & Why the UK is Jealous | Everything Electric Podcast

    In this episode, Jack and Robert are on the ground at Everything Electric Melbourne, sharing their first-hand impressions of Australia's rapidly accelerating shift to electric vehicles and clean energy. It's a super informal chat live on stage about what's happening down under—and why the progress here is giving Robert plenty of reasons to feel just a *little* jealous! They dive into: Catching Up Fast– Australia may have started its EV journey later than some countries, but it's now picking up speed fast, with cities like Brisbane leading the charge.   The Affordability Advantage – Australian buyers skipped the early, overpriced EV era. With models like the BYD Atto 3 and Dolphin arriving at genuinely affordable prices, the market is changing quicker than many expected.    Solar Superpower & V2G Potential*– With world-leading rooftop solar, running an EV in Australia is already incredibly cheap. And with vehicle-to-grid technology emerging, your future car might not just drive you—it could pay you.    EV Market Plateau & Persistent FUD – Why is national EV market share seemingly stuck around 10–11%? They discuss the influence of oil-backed pressure campaigns, myths about charging and batteries, and how media narratives slow adoption.    The Next Big Policy Debate– How should governments replace fuel tax revenue as EVs become the norm? And what lessons could Australia take from Norway's wildly successful tax incentives? 0:00 - Introduction from Everything Electric Melbourne  1:01 - An enjoyable show (squeaky bum time!)  2:03 - Observations on the Australian EV Transition  4:19 - Why Australia is moving quickly: Affordability  5:19 - The Solar Advantage & Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)  8:50 - Jack's Verdict on Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD)  10:33 - Q&A Begins  14:09 - Why is the EV market stuck at 10-11%?  16:16 - The importance of the Used EV Market  26:57 - The Mileage Charge/Fuel Tax Problem  31:38 - Weighing up a Weight Tax for Cars   Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: www.everythingelectric.show    Check out our sister channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/EverythingElectricShow   Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show     Everything Electric SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park 6th, 7th & 8th March 2026  EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026  EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026  EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026
