The Kilowatt Half Hour

119: EV Sales: Winners & Losers + the Audi that's A2 good to be true?

The Kilowatt Half Hour

Show Notes

July’s EV sales are in – so who’s winning, who’s struggling and what does it tell us about the UK’s electric car market?

Join Nic, Mike, Batch (and a cameo appearance by Christian from the Renault PR office) as we also take a closer look at the controversial new Audi A2. Is it a genuine reborn icon, or a clever bit of marketing wrapped around an ordinary EV?

Plus, we’ve been driving the tiny Fiat Topolino and Honda WN7 electric motorcycle, Renault Twingos are invading Britain, and we tackle your questions – from the best small EV for a first-time buyer to whether a BMW i4 can beat a Tesla Model 3.

We also get stuck into your comments on Lexus vs Mercedes, electronic door handles, the new VW ID. Polo and whether buying a used EV is now a completely different game.
