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.

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.

Join us on a powerful journey with Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, World Health Organisation BreatheLife Ambassador, and founder of the Foundation named after her late daughter, Ella Roberta. In this episode, we delve into the heartbreaking yet inspiring story of Ella's tragic death due to pollution-related respiratory failure, which sparked Rosamund's relentless campaign against air pollution.

In conversation with Quentin, Rosamund talks about the shocking statistics on respiratory diseases, particularly in children, and the important role EVs and other clean technologies can play in improving air quality. They also discuss how misinformation is slowing the much-needed transition to cleaner transport and home heating, and the need for greater political support for air improvement initiatives to improve public health and help everyone #StopBurningStuff

 Replacing a traditional form of domestic heating like gas or oil and moving to a zero emission solution can be a daunting task. And typically many of us never consider updating a boiler until it breaks, and at that point you just want a quick and easy no fuss solution. 

In today’s podcast Imogen speaks with Johan du Plessis, founder and CEO at Tepeo, about the array of options available for those looking to decarbonise their domestic heating systems. With ASHP being one of the options, but one that can take some advance planning, Johan shares more about how Tepeo’s Zero Emission Boiler, or ZEB, could be the ‘like for like’ boiler replacement solution you need when you find yourself having to make that distress purchase.

This week Quentin welcomes Labour’s Shadow Minister for Transport, Bill Esterson MP. In this incredibly insightful interview, they discuss the transition to electric vehicles and Labour’s plans on this front. 

As an EV driver and politician, Bill recognises the many benefits of embracing electrification for individual convenience, air quality and economic growth. But he also highlights the current challenges to achieving this, much of which he feels stems from the government’s mixed messaging and the rise in misinformation and scepticism from certain media outlets. 

Bill also shares an overview of Labour's plans to accelerate the transition, including details of their "5 missions" framework, aimed at achieving self-sufficiency in renewable energy, fostering economic growth, and creating opportunities for people.

Very much like how your mindset changes when you start driving electric, heating your home with infrared also takes a moment, but soon you realise how great it can be.

In this week’s podcast Robert is joined by Paul Morey, CEO & Founder, and Matt Dodds, Associate Director (Commercial) at Herschel FAR Infrared Heaters, to discuss and learn more about how effective IR can be as an alternative to traditional gas heating.

Whilst facing outdated legislation and misconceptions about the technology, Paul and Matt take Robert through what they are doing to drive the uptake in adoption of this smart, clean and effective form of heating

This International Women's Day, Quentin engages in a compelling conversation with Lorna McAtear, Head of Fleet at the UK’s National Grid and Joint Chair of the Association of Fleet Professionals. 

During their discussions, Lorna shares the benefits and challenges she has experienced in transitioning to an electric fleet, and gives an honest appraisal of how the 21,000 vehicles in National Grid’s fleet have fared in relation to commonly held beliefs about EVs, such as battery efficiency and degradation, tyre wear and fire risk. 

Quentin also takes the opportunity to quiz Lorna on the Grid itself; whether it will be able to cope with the growth in demand for EV charging, how it is being future proofed, and what is holding us back from decoupling gas and electricity pricing to reduce electricity costs for consumers.
