About this episode
Electric vehicles are once again shown to have lower lifetime emissions compared to traditional vehicles, with a recent study revealing up to 73% fewer emissions for battery electric vehicles. ChargePoint introduces powerful new DC fast chargers, and the U.S. is on track for record car sales, driven largely by EV demand. The episode also tackles misinformation affecting EV adoption in the UK and discusses comedian Jimmy Carr's conversion of a classic Aston Martin to electric. Insights on public charging costs and the future of luxury EVs round out the discussion.
