Kilowatt Half Hour podcast: cheaper charging, great sales

Sam Burnett

Don't worry about anything going missing, we use the latest technology to ensure there's no sneaky cable theft. 

Welcome to the Kilowatt Half Hour podcast – join Mike AskewNicola Hume and Vicky Parrott as they discuss the latest developments from the world of electric vehicles. 

This week's topics include the head to head battle between the Nissan Micra and Renault 5 (and why the cars are still controversial among the Electrifying team), Vicky's latest drives of some Chinese SUVs and questions as to the whereabouts of the Fiat Grande Panda in the UK. 

There's also some sensible discussion of the latest EV sales figures (spoiler, but they're doing alright), talk about the best EVs for rough roads and some followup on Nicola's Polestar 4-related meltdown from the last episode. Nothing a little over the air update won't sort out. Vicky also gives us a briefing on her recent drive of the new electric Jaguar GT (another spoiler, but she enjoyed it), plus Mike and Nicola reminisce over the recent dog shoot we did, which was as chaotic as you can imagine. 

Then it's time for a dive into the Electrifying postbag, with the team answering the questions that listeners have emailed in or commented on YouTube. (And if you have a question or comment to be included in the KWHH postbag, incidentally, you can leave your comment on YouTube or send us an email to [email protected].)

As ever, the Kilowatt Half Hour is available to watch on YouTube (in fact you watch it below) and can be found in all the sensible places you get your podcasts – check out the links and subscribe.
