The Fully Charged Show Podcast

In order to make sure that the show can further its reach on occasion we throw little business to business seminars and talks in selective locations around the UK to explain the benefit of renewable energy, EV’s and sustainability to key decision makers within the business world. The most recent one was in late November in Manchester at our Business to Business mixer.. This panel discussion was mainly about fleet services and how from April in the UK when the Benefit in Kind Tax (BIK) alters significantly in favour of EV’s in 2020. Unfortunately Robert was promised elsewhere and he send his apologies he couldn’t introduce this podcast himself. But no matter, UK radio listeners will know who I am about to introduce. Former Radio 1 presenter, Mark Goodier heals the discussion and is accompanied by a host of learned Fully Charged friends.   Don’t forget, leave us a 5* rating and review on your favourite podcast player as it helps us get discovered and increases our reach to spread the sustainability message.

Honda’s EV offerings are Hybrid-centric, why is this a thing? Potentially sexist comments from a major OEM about heavy charging cables- really?! Carlos Ghosn's unorthodox escape, watch our video interview with him. UK has a renewable milestone set and VW are investing 50% MORE in their electric platform - believers or a shotgun marriage?

Maddie has recently moved house, and as well as that being a total logistical nightmare, which we don’t wish on anyone, she wanted to make sure her new home has as small a carbon footprint as possible. So, with this in mind, at Fully Charged Live in June, Maddie really wanted to talk some industry experts about their options and to be reassured that it’s not as daunting a task as she was originally thinking it might be. We managed to convince Dean Fielding from Keystone Homes,Toby Morris from Sunamp and Martin Allman from Sonnen on the Mega Theatre with me.

Robert on a shoot in Sardinia where he is test driving the new Renault Zoe. Unfortunately he is not seeing much sign of renewable energy, so he questions the affordability of various sustainable resources and wonders if renewables really are made for the people at the people budgets, or is it still an elitist luxury.  Fully Charged are doubling down on our carbon footprint with how we do reviews and travel across the EU and the rest of the world. Robert discusses battery technology with the announcement of the 1 million battery from Tesla. Finally, Robert goes all sorts of cross with the new announcement from EDF about the recently announced Hinkley Point C increase in cost. Apparently the ground there is very difficult(!)

With the current climate, (no pun intended) I was made aware of a fantastic book by author Tim Smedley called “Clearing the Air”.

So as well as Tim, late on we were joined by a very special guest, so stay tuned for appearance from a very courageous young lady.

We have a duty to think about and indeed act on new resources of energy. We can’t rest on our laurels and expect solar and wind to benefit the world so with this in mind and with an upcoming show coming out in the next couple of weeks about a new Fusion reactor we filmed in the Summer, we thought this Fully Charged Live 2019 talk might be the perfect introduction into it.

On this episode of the show, I desperately wanted to have a talk about EV conversions on the Giga stage. This niche market has sprung from almost nowhere to be a highly valued and potentially lucrative business model for people, and also with my experience converting cars to EV’s I invited some of the top people I know to come and talk with me on stage. So the panelists I chose were Richard Morgan from Electric Classic Cars, Chris Hazell from Zero EV and finally Dorian Hindmarsh from QWest.   Patreon: A quick thank you to all our Patreon supporters, without your help we simply wouldn’t be able to keep you informed with all our content we make.
