Ep 114: Goodwood greats and the body parts Renault

The Kilowatt Half Hour

Show Notes

Goodwood Festival of Speed went electric in 2026 — and the team were there to see it all.

This week, Ginny and Nicola report from Goodwood with the standout new EVs, from the MG Go concept and electric BMW M3 to the forthcoming Alpine A110. Mike, meanwhile, definitely wasn’t at Goodwood.

We also discuss a Volvo EX30 lease bargain, a tempting used Vauxhall Mokka Electric, and answer your questions on choosing a first EV, depreciation, the Peugeot E-3008 versus DS N°7, and whether the Volkswagen ID. Polo will be easy to get in and out of.

Plus: steel wheels, Fisker Ocean ownership, Ferrari Luce opinions, electric motorcycles and your suggestions for the ultimate EV group test. Send your questions to [email protected]. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
