198 - The FUDBusting Episode
In Episode 198 Gary looks at the problem of misinformation in the EV and renewables world. We know there’s always been issues of people spreading bad information about EVs (The first episode of this podcast was called ‘Myths and Legends’, after all). But recently it seems that the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) surrounding EVs has stepped up a notch. We talk with Quentin Willson and Claire Cullen from Stop Burning Stuff about this issue.Within our EV bubble it's often easy to forget that what people gear on social media (and even mainstream media) can influence them a lot more than we imagine.With newspapers printing anti-EV marticles daily how can we combat this?Guest Details: With over two decades of experience in strategic marketing across the energy, digital, and not-for-profit sectors, Claire has a wealth of expertise in campaign development and communications. She has supported the Fully Charged Show marketing activities for a number of years so has a good grounding in the sector, and is a keen advocate for the transition to clean energy and transport. In her role as head of the #StopBurningStuff initiative, she works with subject matter experts and draws upon the real life experiences of EV drivers to address misinformation, promote the truth, and provide a credible source of information on EVs and clean energy to politicians, the media and the general public. @StopBSCampaign on X Motoring journalist and transport campaigner Quentin Willson is one of Britain’s best known automotive media faces. He presented BBC Top Gear for ten years along with Fifth Gear, Britain’s Worst Driver, The Classic Car Show and The Car’s The Star, has authored 11 motoring books and won The British Press Awards - Motoring Writer of the Year. In 2020 he founded FairCharge, an EV campaign group to make EV transition more understood, accessible, and affordable, and to push the Government to drive the energy transition forward. Quentin is an EV pioneer having been driving EVs daily since 2009, has owned seven different battery-only models and currently own two EVs.The EV Musings Podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the go-to app for EV drivers, helping you find and pay for public charging with confidence.Links in the show notes:Stop Burning Stuff on LinkedInStop Burning Stuff on Twitter/XStop Burning Stuff Patreon linkRevealed: Scale of The Telegraph's Climate Change ‘Propaganda’ - DeSmogEpisode produced by Arran Sheppard at Urban Podcasts: https://www.urbanpodcasts.co.uk(C) 2019-2026 Gary Comerford Social Media:Patreon Link: http://www.patreon.com/evmusingsKo-fi Link: http://www.ko-fi.com/evmusings EVMusings: Twitter https://twitter.com/MusingsEvand Facebook http://www.facebook.com/The-EV-Musings-Podcast-2271582289776763Octopus Energy...
196 - The Public Chargepoints 2023 Episode

187 - The Ripple Energy Episode
In Episode 187 Gary looks at how you can get a share of a wind turbine or solar farm in a discussion with Sarah Merrick from Ripple Energy There are situations where some people might not be in a position (either financially or structurally) to do something like add solar panels to their roof.People who rent, for example. People who live in houses covered by listed building status. People who don’t have a roof because they live in an apartment block. How are they supposed to gain from, say, solar panel installation? They shouldn’t be excluded from the energy transition because of that.This is why companies like Ripple Energy are a bit of a godsend for people in those situations.The EV Musings Podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the go-to app for EV drivers, helping you find and pay for public charging with confidence.Links in the show notes:Ripple Energy website - Join Ripple and save on your billsA new method boosts wind farms’ energy output, without new equipment - - A Cool ThingRenewable energy: Customer-owned wind turbine to be built - - Ripple Energy in the news.Episode produced by Arran Sheppard at Urban Podcasts: https://www.urbanpodcasts.co.uk(C) 2019-2026 Gary Comerford Social Media:Patreon Link: http://www.patreon.com/evmusingsKo-fi Link: http://www.ko-fi.com/evmusings EVMusings: Twitter https://twitter.com/MusingsEvand Facebook http://www.facebook.com/The-EV-Musings-Podcast-2271582289776763Octopus Energy referral code (Click this link to get started) https://share.octopus.energy/neat-star-460'So, you've gone electric?' on Amazon : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q5JVF1X'So, you've gone renewable?’ on Amazon : https://amzn.to/3LXvIckUpgrade to smarter EV driving with a free week's trial of Zapmap Premium, find out more here https://evmusings.com/zapmap-premium

176 - The Jack Scarlett Episode
In Episode 176 Gary chats with Jack Scarlett from the Fully Charged Show. They discuss Chinese EVs, electric conversions, induction charging, cheaper/ smaller EVs, and whether Tesla is resting on its laurels.I checked the Fully Charged show YouTube channel to see if I could determine how many car reviews Jack’s done. He has his own playlist which has 86 videos but - as he said - these are not all car review ones. 21 of them cover topics which are EV related but not strictly car review and in and amongst there are a couple of episodes of almost breaking news where he chats with Robert Llewellyn.So the answer is 65, which isn’t bad at all.This season of the podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.LINKSThe Fully Charged Show: https://fullycharged.showCool thing: Solarised VW Id Buzz Camper: https://newatlas.com/automotive/solarized-dvan-vw-id-buzz-camper/?utm_source=pocket_saves Episode produced by Arran Sheppard at Urban Podcasts: https://urbanpodcasts.co.ukSocial Media: Patreon Link: http://www.patreon.com/evmusingsKo-fi Link: http://www.ko-fi.com/evmusingsEVMusings: Twitter https://twitter.com/MusingsEv and Facebook http://www.facebook.com/The-EV-Musings-Podcast-2271582289776763Octopus Energy referral code (Click this link to get started) https://share.octopus.energy/neat-star-460 'So, you've gone electric?' on Amazon : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q5JVF1X 'So, you've gone renewable?’ on Amazon : https://amzn.to/3LXvIck
