Reeves ruins EVs? Porsche envies Hyundai? Is XPeng the new Tesla?
NEW! It’s a ‘life and death decade for automakers’, but keeping your finger on the PULSE of the industry has been almost impossible; until now. As part of a new weekly podcast, engineer, Imogen Bhogal & entrepreneur, Dan Caesar, pull back the curtain on the carmakers. Is 2026 the year that the ‘House of Cars’ collapses? Who’s on the up, who’s hitting the skids, and who’s going up in smoke? This week, Imogen and Dan discuss XPeng, Hyundai, Porsche and reflect on Rachel Reeves’ budget.

This Is What a UK Road Legal E-Scooter Looks Like!
While rental scooters are legal on UK roads, privately owned ones like the Nought One remain restricted to private land only. In this episode, Jack meets with Ollie from Nought, a British e-scooter brand that’s not just making scooters, they’re actively lobbying the government to change outdated legislation. We discuss what safe scooter legalisation should look like, the essential safety features every scooter should have, and why micro-mobility is the perfect solution for short urban journeys. ## Timestamps **0:00** Breaking the Law on a Scooter **1:23** The Legal Limbo of Private E-Scooters **2:35** Lobbying the Government for Change **3:34** Gambling on Legalisation **4:20** Tour of the Naught One: Essential Safety Features **7:08** The Micro Mobility Roadmap **8:17** Enforcing Rider Behaviour **10:00** The Perception Problem **11:20** Are UK Cities Ready for Micro Mobility? **12:22** Final Thoughts: Why We’re Missing Out Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: _**www.everythingelectric.show**_ * * * Get your tickets for our live events NOW! * _**Everything Electric MELBOURNE – 14th, 15th & 16th of November 2025**_ * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 6th, 7th & 8th of March 2026**_ * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.

The Electric Vehicle Range Hack No One Talks About….!
Electric cars are heavy, boast instant torque and are ultra-quiet—all factors that put massive stress on standard tyres, leading to faster wear, reduced range, and noticeable road noise. In this episode of **Everything Electric TECH** , we dive into the fascinating engineering of the rubber rings that connect your EV to the road and discover how Hankook’s iON technology has effectively “reinvented the wheel” via the four key pillars of Hankook’s iON lineup. i Extreme Lightness: Unique compounds and structural design for lower rolling resistance, boosting battery range by up to 6% i Super Mileage: Pro-durable compound and ’round even technology’ for even stress distribution, helping tires last up to 15% longer. i Sound Absorber: Acoustic foam for low-frequency sound and a unique ‘corn husk’ tread pattern for high-frequency noise, resulting in an 18% reduction in road noise. i Perfect Grip: Optimised profile and 3D interlocking sipes (like Lego bricks!) for superior stability and 10% higher grip From the ABB FIA Formula E World Championships to your daily commute, Hankook is solving the biggest EV tyre challenges. _**Find out more about the Hankook iON lineup (including the iON GT with 77% recycled materials, iON Flex Climate, and iON Evo).**_ @hankooktire_global | AD ## Timestamps **0:00** The EV Tyre Challenge: Torque, Weight, and Silence **1:17** How EV Weight and Torque Impacts Tyres **2:18** Hankook iON Technology is the Solution **2:35** Boosting EV Range with i Extreme Lightness **3:24** Making Tires Last 15% Longer with i Super Mileage **3:52** Reducing Road Noise by 18% with i Sound Absorber **4:42** Higher Grip and Safety with i Perfect Grip **5:18** Formula E Validation and Consumer Lineup Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: _**www.everythingelectric.show**_ * * * Get your tickets for our live events NOW! * _**Everything Electric MELBOURNE – 14th, 15th & 16th of November 2025**_ * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 6th, 7th & 8th of March 2026**_ * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.

## Australia’s EV BOOM: Affordable Cars, V2G & Why the UK is Jealous In this episode, Jack and Robert are on the ground at **Everything Electric MELBOURNE** , sharing their first-hand impressions of Australia’s rapidly accelerating shift to electric vehicles and clean energy. It’s a super informal chat live on stage about what’s happening down under—and why the progress here is giving Robert plenty of reasons to feel just a *little* jealous! They dive into: Catching Up Fast– Australia may have started its EV journey later than some countries, but it’s now picking up speed fast, with cities like Brisbane leading the charge. The Affordability Advantage – Australian buyers skipped the early, overpriced EV era. With models like the BYD Atto 3 and Dolphin arriving at genuinely affordable prices, the market is changing quicker than many expected. Solar Superpower & V2G Potential*– With world-leading rooftop solar, running an EV in Australia is already incredibly cheap. And with vehicle-to-grid technology emerging, your future car might not just drive you—it could pay you. EV Market Plateau & Persistent FUD – Why is national EV market share seemingly stuck around 10–11%? They discuss the influence of oil-backed pressure campaigns, myths about charging and batteries, and how media narratives slow adoption. The Next Big Policy Debate– How should governments replace fuel tax revenue as EVs become the norm? And what lessons could Australia take from Norway’s wildly successful tax incentives? ## Timestamps **0:00** Introduction from Everything Electric Melbourne **1:01** An enjoyable show (squeaky bum time!) **2:03** Observations on the Australian EV Transition **4:19** Why Australia is moving quickly: Affordability **5:19** The Solar Advantage & Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) **8:50** Jack’s Verdict on Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) **10:33** Q&A Begins **14:09** Why is the EV market stuck at 10-11%? **16:16** The importance of the Used EV Market **26:57** The Mileage Charge/Fuel Tax Problem **31:38** Weighing up a Weight Tax for Cars Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: _**www.everythingelectric.show**_ * * * Get your tickets for our live events NOW! * _**Everything Electric MELBOURNE – 14th, 15th & 16th of November 2025**_ * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 6th, 7th & 8th of March 2026**_ * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.

## The *Real* Range Anxiety?! How can wheels really boost battery EVs?! Imogen Bhogal treads thoughtfully through a topic that battery EVs have brought to the fore. In this episode of the **Everything Electric PODCAST,** we sit down with Hankook’s Neil Barrett, EV Lead at Hankook, to uncover how tyre technology is being completely re-engineered for the electric age. From instant torque and heavier vehicles to noise reduction and energy efficiency, Neil explains how Hankook’s groundbreaking ION range, backed by 58 patents and insights from Formula E racing, is redefining performance for electric vehicles. Discover how the right tyres can dramatically affect your range, grip, wear, noise, and even pollution levels, and why EVs need a completely different approach to what keeps them on the road. This conversation will change the way you think about tyres — and how much they impact your driving experience, efficiency, and wallet.

Imogen and Robert visit McMurtry HQ to uncover how this groundbreaking EV achieves 0–60 mph in under 1.4 seconds, generates 2,000 kg of downforce from twin fans (even from a standstill), and fits a 100 kWh battery into a car weighing just over a tonne. Beyond its twin-fan vacuum system — which literally sucks the car to the ground for immense grip without the drag of wings — McMurtry, in collaboration with technology partner About:Energy, has developed sophisticated battery modelling that enables them to squeeze 100 kWh of energy into a Dacia-sized chassis using custom-built, high-performance Moli Cell P50B 21700 cells. Whilst this might all seem a bit silly – this extreme performance has unlocked some equally extreme efficiency that could make its way into normal passenger cars. This is a delightful glimpse into what happens when you give engineers a ludicrous moonshot and a modest budget…! @mcmurtryautomotive 00:00 Small, fun and unsensible?! ## Timestamps **0:31** McMurtry Spéirling **1:00** Ad Break **1:22** The fastest car ever made **2:52** 190 mph and an audacious idea **3:32** Big fans that suck, better than an F1 car **7:43** Let’s have a go…. **8:33** Redundancy for safety **9:08** Some weird inventions **10:44** Where did it all begin? **12:05** The batteries, how dense can you get? **15:33** Downforce on demand coming to other cars?! **15:54** Heat?! **17:36** Starting from the cell, About:Energy **20:22** Passenger car applications?! **21:27** Concluding thoughts Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: _**www.everythingelectric.show**_ * * * Get your tickets for our live events NOW! * _**Everything Electric MELBOURNE – 14th, 15th & 16th of November 2025**_ * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 6th, 7th & 8th of March 2026**_ * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.

## Australia’s EV Battleground – Tesla, BYD & the Electric Price War! In this episode, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Feann Torr from @carsales to unpack the electric vehicle revolution transforming Australia. From BYD and MG to Tesla and Hyundai, they discuss how Chinese automakers are shaking up the industry and driving EVs to become the most affordable option on the market. Feann shares his insights into the rapid rise of EV interest — growing from 30% to 37% of Australian car buyers — and explains how China has become the country’s third-largest source of car imports. They also discuss how Chinese EVs are winning the price war, the psychological shift that’s making electric cars feel like “just another car” to new buyers, and why the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is converting even the most loyal V8 fans. Finally, Feann and Robert couldn’t help but get just a little excited about the groundbreaking potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology and what it could mean for an energy-independent Australia. _**www.carsales.com.au**_ Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: _**www.everythingelectric.show**_ * * * Get your tickets for our live events NOW! * _**Everything Electric MELBOURNE – 14th, 15th & 16th of November 2025**_ * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 6th, 7th & 8th of March 2026**_ * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.

Winning a Rigged Game? Unnatural Gas?! Ferrari Opts for Vrooms without Fumes?!
This week, Robert tackles why your electricity bill is still being dictated by the price of imported methane gas — even as renewables hit record highs. He dives into the messy world of energy subsidies, grid dysfunction, and the outdated market logic that keeps fossil fuels in charge long past their sell-by date. Then, it’s on to the global EV boom: China sold 1.6 million electric cars in just one month, while BYD’s production totals are closing in on twice that of Tesla’s. After a quick blast in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, Robert checks in with Jack reporting from Italy on Ferrari’s electrified future — a 4-motor, 1,000+ horsepower beast that simulates gear shifts and amplifies real motor vibrations for a truly visceral driving experience. Finally, Robert unleashes a second rant — this time about the energy-hungry world of AI. From data centres devouring city-sized amounts of electricity to a global gas turbine shortage fuelled by Big Tech’s power needs, the story is as electrifying as it is alarming. Plus, we celebrate new renewable energy records and Scotland’s ambitious push into floating offshore wind. ## In This Episode: * Why gas still sets your power price (and why that’s ridiculous) * EV sales surge across every vehicle type * Ferrari’s electric supercar * AI’s growing energy footprint and the global gas turbine crunch * Scotland’s record-breaking renewable future ## Timestamps **0:00** Introduction & Channel Ad **0:55** Global Renewable Energy Overtakes Coal! **1:47** Rant: Why Your Electricity Bill is Governed by Gas & Fossil Fuel Subsidies **5:26** China’s Massive Wind Turbine Investment in Scotland **6:57** All Ground Transport is Going Electric?! **8:51** BYD vs. Tesla: China’s Mind-Melting Production Numbers **10:50** Australia’s Renewables Records & The Global Grid Problem **13:21** Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and the Psychology of Acceleration **15:59** The AI Data Centre Fire & Hypocrisy of Tech Bros…. **21:31** The Electric Ferrari **23:29** China’s Flying Airship Wind Turbine Idea **24:56** Outro & Subscribe Plea * * * Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: _**www.everythingelectric.show**_ * * * Get your tickets for our live events NOW! * _**Everything Electric MELBOURNE – 14th, 15th & 16th of November 2025**_ * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 6th, 7th & 8th of March 2026**_ * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.
