    Introducing The Road Ahead with The AA, a brand-new monthly podcast exploring the motoring issues that matter to drivers. For our first episode, host Jack Cousens, AA Head of Roads Policy, is joined by Jamie Muir from AA Cars and Charlie Cook, Founder and CEO of Rightcharge, to talk electric cars. Are EVs really practical for everyday driving? How far can you travel on a charge? Is charging at home really that much cheaper? And what are your options if you don’t have a driveway? Jamie and Charlie discuss everything from used EV prices and battery life to public charging, range anxiety and what it’s actually like to live with an electric car. Plus, they explain why one of the best ways to decide whether an EV is right for you might simply be to get behind the wheel and try one. The Road Ahead with The AA brings together experts and industry voices every month to take a deeper look at the issues shaping driving today and in the future.
