The Kilowatt Half Hour

Ep 115: Pay per mile, VW shock, and more Goodwood!

This week on the Kilowatt Half Hour, Vicky and Batch dig into the government's newly confirmed pay-per-mile scheme for electric cars, set to land at 3p per mile from 2028, and unpack what it really means for the cost of running an EV versus a petrol car (spoiler: home charging still wins).They also cover Volkswagen's bombshell restructuring plans, with up to 50,000 jobs at risk in Germany and a major shake-up of its model line-up and platform sharing across the VW Group.Plus: more highlights from Goodwood, first impressions of the DS No7, this week's leasing and used-car bargains (a Renault 5 for under £280 a month, and a Mini Electric for under £10k), and your comments and questions, including a listener's case for wanting 600 miles of range, and a brilliantly weird suggestion for testing whether car colour affects EV range.All that, plus your comments from across the Electrifying.com channels.🔌 Brought to you by the team at Electrifying.com Hosted on Acast.

This week on the Kilowatt Half Hour podcast, the team finally recover from the chaos of the Beijing Motor Show… only to dive straight into another packed week of EV news, launches and listener questions.We've been driving the new Vauxhall Corsa GSE — a properly quick electric hot hatch with 281hp, checked seats, three-spoke alloys and a 0–62mph time that’s somehow almost identical to a Lotus Carlton. Plus, it’s cheaper than the old Corsa Electric used to be. Naturally, opinions are shared.Vicky’s been living with the Skoda Elroq, preparing for the international launch of the Cupra Raval and getting familiar with the Geely EX2, while Batch breaks down the latest UK car sales figures and what they tell us about the state of the EV market right now.There’s also plenty to discuss from CATL, including claims of a 930-mile semi-solid-state battery, ultra-fast 10C charging capable of adding charge in minutes, and sodium-ion batteries designed to work in extreme cold.As always, there are bargains too — including a surprisingly tempting used Corsa Electric for under £10k — plus your questions and comments. This week the team tackles whether heat pumps really matter on EVs like the upcoming Cupra Raval and Volkswagen Polo EV, helps one listener choose between a Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia EV3 for a brutal motorway commute, and suggests affordable used EVs that won’t completely destroy insurance premiums for teenage drivers.There’s also a brilliant efficiency flex from an Ioniq 6 owner averaging 3.8 miles per kWh over nearly 14,000 miles, plus your thoughts on future battery tech, lightweight EVs and the new generation of electric hot hatches.Oh, and Tom apparently now sounds like Morgan Freeman.All that and more on this week’s Kilowatt Half Hour.
