125 - The 'An EVs not for me' Episode

This is episode 125 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners.  Ever read a post about EVs and thought ‘Nah, not for me’? Ever listened to people wax lyrical about their Tesla and thought ‘Too expensive. Real people can’t afford them’? Ever seen pictures of people charging at home and thought ‘I live in a flat. What am I going to do, hang an extension out the window?’? If so, this is the episode for you.  There are lots of people who just aren’t right for EVs. We’ll look at who they are and why an EV might not be right for them just now.  Plus: If you’re waiting for hydrogen I have great news - it’s already here! This episode of the podcast was produced by Arran Sheppard. We'll hear Arran's work in a few more episodes before the end of the season. Let me know what you did and didn't like about this one, please and I'll make sure to feed it back to him. This season of the podcast is sponsored by Zap Map.
