  • Dreadful

    Great website, dreadful podcast. I’ve listened to a number of podcasts talking about EVs. This one is unlistenable. Boring, droning, pompous host.

    The website is one of the better EV news sites around.

  • In need of an overhaul

    This used to be an interesting podcast but has become increasingly difficult to listen to. Fred has become increasingly negative most of the time and really fancies himself an expert on all things EV.

He often makes incorrect statements and adds zero value to the show. A rethink to your combined ap... more

  • Cough Button Please

    I for the most part enjoy this show, yes it can be Tesla heavy and a bit negative towards Elon and Tesla but the fact remains that without Elon and Tesla none of this exist. My problem is Seth constantly coughing into the microphone. It is very difficult to listen to when you hear people mid sentence just unapologetically cough into a microphone which is 10x worse and louder when I am listening via headphones. So Seth please get a cough button or drink some water or tea. Thank you.
