149 - The Mechanical Engineer Episode
This is episode 149 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners. On the show today we'll be looking at Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt when it comes to Climate Change in discussion with a proper mechanical engineer, Tom Swaffield-Bray Before we start I wanted to apologise for a small technical hitch in episode 147. The recording didn’t include the favourite part at the end that those who listen past the boilerplate credits look forward to. I apologise for that. The responsible person has been taken out and slapped hard with a pickled herring. This season of the podcast is sponsored by Zap-Map, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.

147 - The 80% Episode
This is episode 147 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners. On the show today we’re doing some educating and talking about what happens when you stay on a rapid charger when it’s gone beyond 80% state of charge. Charging above this rate usually involves throttling which slows down the charge. So what are the circumstances under which you should stay on a charger when it's charging slowly, and when should you consider getting off and freeing the unit up for others?

144 - The Second Hand EV Episode
This is episode 144 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners. On the show today we'll be looking at different ways to get a used EV on your drive. ERRATUM: I’d like to correct an error from a previous episode. In episode 142 - The Private Jet Episode I said that it would be better to take the 36 flights that depart London for New York every day and put those passengers on a ship instead. Listener Lewis Standing pointed out to me that the carbon footprint for cruise ships is, actually, higher per passenger km than flying - which means that statement about sending them on a ship is nonsense.

Since I recorded the episode with Ian Johnston from Osprey Charging they announced a mind-boggling 50% price hike to their charging tariffs. I learned of this at the same time as everyone else.

On the show today we'll be talking with Ian Johnston from Osprey Charging. NOTE: This interview took place before the eye-watering price hike to £1/kWh announced by Osprey Charging on Wednesday of last week. That's why it's not mentioned in this discussion. There is an additional episode called 141 - CODA The Osprey Charging Episode which details my thoughts on this.

140 - The CPO Episode II
This is episode 140 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners. On the show today we'll be looking at Charge Point Operators. I wanted to apologise to anyone expecting this to be the round Table Episode at the end of the season. For various timing and logistical reasons, I wasn’t able to get this organised in time to be a part of this current batch of 20 episodes. So I now need to sit and work out whether I want to do an additional one-off episode to present the round table or leave it until the next season and we bookend the season with a round table to start and a different one to end.

This is episode 127 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners. On the show today we'll be looking at electric aviation.
