    Such a good podcast & a very interesting episode.

    The discussions about the rural charging, especially from Gemma’s Scottish perspective was excellent. My wife & I have just completed the NC500, without any charging issues what so ever. That included nearly 600 miles each way there & back from north Norfolk. The Charge place Scotland chargers in most car parks were really useful. They all worked without fail, and have the added benefit of being compatible with Octopus Electroverse cards, so th... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

313 The Motorhome Matt Episode
Q: Talk to me a little bit about on a typical day-by-day basis, somebody in a, let's say a camper van, what sort of mileage are they going to be doing on a day-to-day basis?
Sims says many motorhome travellers cover roughly 200 to 300 miles at most on a travel day, often travelling much less once they are exploring locally. He recommends slowing down and spending more than one night at a destination.
313 The Motorhome Matt Episode
Q: Talk to me a little bit about that resistance, where does it come from, and how much is founded on the fact versus perception and fear and certainty and doubt, please.
Matt Sims says resistance comes from range and charging concerns, low consumer demand, and misinformation. He has seen gradual acceptance as more motorhome show visitors arrive in electric cars, but says manufacturers need to develop electric models and consumers need better education.
305 The Newspaper Episode
Q: How do FOIs and government papers shape your investigative work on policies like the ZEV mandate?
FOIs provide a paper trail; Riley explains a methodical approach to gathering information, triangulating sources, and following the documents to build robust stories.
305 The Newspaper Episode
Q: What drives the balance or imbalance you see in coverage, and how do editors influence the portrayal of EVs?
Editors aim to maximize readership, which can skew coverage toward sensational or negative stories, but Riley notes improvements over time and cites trade publications as more balanced sources.
305 The Newspaper Episode
Q: So tell me a little bit about your background in media, so the listeners know your bona fides, please.
Tom Riley describes a career shift from government comms and public affairs to a journalist role, leveraging his PR experience to inform his transition and his newsletter, The Fast Charge.
