FULLY CHARGED CHRISTMAS UNSPECIAL - TESLA 250KW SUPERCHARGERS - NEWS - END OF YEAR BOO BOO UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This 'Unspecial' episode of Fully Charged delivers a mixed bag of news and apologies, with a significant focus on the ethical sourcing of battery materials and the environmental impact of fossil fuel companies. The host expresses strong concerns about cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo, highlighting the human rights abuses involved and acknowledging the culpability of consumers and tech companies, including Tesla, which is actively working to reduce cobalt content. The review also criticizes Shell for paying zero tax in 2018 despite substantial profits, contrasting this with the self-sufficiency and lack of subsidies now required by renewable energy sources. A major segment is dedicated to the new Tesla Supercharger V3 installation in West London, showcasing its impressive 250kW charging capability and the technology behind it, which the host enthusiastically praises as a significant advancement. Apologies are made for delays in the release of the 'Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles and Renewable Energy' and for schedule disruptions due to filming 'Red Dwarf'. Despite a busy year, the team is thanked, and a brief holiday break is announced.
