Kilowatt Half Hour Ep 95: VW’s Spice Girls, Polestar windows & Cars of the Year!
The Kilowatt Half HourShow Notes
We’re back! After what can only be described as a full factory reset (call it a model-year upgrade with a light facelift), the Electrifying.com team returns with a jam-packed episode covering one of the busiest periods the EV world has seen in years.
Ginny, Nicola and Vicky dive straight into what they’ve been driving – including the VW Group “triplets” (Epiq, Polo and Raval), the Mercedes CLA, EV of the Year contenders, the Skoda Elroq, Volvo EX60, Kia EV2, Polestar 4 and more. There’s also talk of regen feel, buttons and switches (yes, really), and whether some new models genuinely feel different under the skin.
In the news: Polestar makes headlines (again), BYD’s mysterious boot space growth spurt, and the Government boosts the home charging grant to £500 – but is it actually enough to make a difference? The team breaks down what the changes mean for renters, landlords and drivers without driveways.
