With so much changing in the world of EV public charging – and Tesla’s Supercharging team no-longer at the company, we’re going to be doing some soul-searching in today’s show – and ask a very simple question: how on earth do we fix the mess that is public EV charging…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2.

From Transport Evolved: Take 2.

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. As cities become ever-congested, and our air becomes more polluted, there’s an urgency surrounding getting people – and goods – moving safely, quickly and efficiently.

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. This week, we heard of several cases of EV owners whose cars had told their insurance companies about their driving habits, all using on-board telematics.

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. We’ve bene thinking a lot about the perceived distance that many people feel electric vehicles need to achieve before they’ll make the switch.

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. There’s certainly a push and pull in most people’s lives when it comes to new vehicle ownership.
