The Kilowatt Half Hour

Show Notes

Episode 98 of the Kilowatt Half Hour is here, as Nicola, Tom, Mike and newcomer Lucas dive into the latest in the world of electric cars. There’s first-drive chat on the Volvo EX30, plenty of lively debate, and a packed news section covering everything from Audi’s plans for a new baby EV to the latest updates on the VW ID.3 and Vauxhall Astra Electric. As always, your emails and comments take centre stage, with discussions on EV tariffs, charging costs, real-world range and whether the industry needs stronger rules to speed up the transition. Throw in Barnard’s Bargain, plenty of listener shoutouts and the usual inane banter, and you’ve got another must-listen episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
