Episode 3: The Journey to Electrification

What are the practicalities of getting an electric vehicle (EV)? We know that the sale of new EVs will overtake internal combustion engine (ICE) cars in the near future thanks to changes in legislation and societal attitudes, but what is the situation today if you want to buy and drive an EV? How ready are potential consumers to make the switch away from petrol and diesel cars – and is the UK charging infrastructure fit for purpose?In this episode of Power to the People, Jon Tickle continues on his journey to learn more about the electrification of our roads. He will be finding out about the opportunities along the way – such as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and ‘energy as a currency’ – and looking at some of the challenges we need to navigate to reach a greener future of transportation.Produced by Penny Boreham for Earshot Strategies Hosted on Acast.
