FERRARI GOES ELECTRIC!? AND MORE! EVERYTHING EV PODCAST

EV Channels Review

The Everything EV Podcast tackles several key topics in the EV space. A significant portion is dedicated to the UK's SMMT data, highlighting the continued dominance of fleet sales in driving EV registrations, while retail sales lag. The podcast criticizes the UK's 'expensive car tax' threshold, arguing it unfairly targets mid-range EVs due to inflation. Similarly, France's new tax structure, which penalizes both emissions and vehicle weight, is discussed as potentially punitive rather than incentivizing. A positive note is the potential return of the Volkswagen 'up!' as an affordable entry-level EV, estimated around £17,000, which is seen as a landmark for accessible EVs. Audi's confusing naming strategy for its EVs and ICE vehicles is also dissected, with the hosts noting the brand's struggle in EV sales despite its reputation. Finally, the podcast touches on Ferrari's upcoming electric car, the controversial Vanderhall Bసరం (a re-skinned Hyundai Ioniq 5 costing over £100k), Ford's entry into Pikes Peak with a modified Mustang Mach-E, and Citroën's EC3 Aircross, which is notably cheaper than its hybrid counterpart, signaling a potential turning point for EV affordability.
