Nicola, Ginny and Mike are back — with questionable WiFi, strong opinions and plenty of electric chat.We kick things off with the Kia EV2’s headline-grabbing pricing, asking whether it’s a bargain or a bit of a shock. There’s also first-drive chat on the BMW iX3, plus a look at what Ginny’s been driving (and what she can’t talk about yet…).In the news, we dive into steer-by-wire tech (is it the future or a step too far?) and react to Honda and Sony calling time on their EV partnership.There’s also a 100th episode surprise, Easter chat, a tempting Capri lease deal, and loads of your questions, from real-world efficiency to whether public charging can stack up financially.Thanks for sticking with us for 100 episodes, here’s to the next hundred! ⚡ Hosted on Acast.
