CONGESTION CHARGE U-TURN, TVR REVIVAL? MORE! THE EVERYTHING EV PODCAST

EV Channels Review

The Everything EV Podcast covers a range of significant EV news. A major point of discussion is the impending removal of congestion charge exemptions for EVs in London, a move predicted to significantly impact tradespeople and potentially slow EV adoption. The return of Mitsubishi to the UK market with the Eclipse Cross EV, a badge-engineered Renault Scenic, is analyzed as a pragmatic approach to re-enter the market. Peugeot's striking Polygon concept is presented as a preview of the next 208, with particular attention paid to its innovative 'Hypersquare' steering system and steer-by-wire technology, though its production viability is questioned. The potential revival of TVR with an electric future is explored, drawing parallels with Charge Cars' powerful EV platform. The podcast also features an interview with Zap EV's CEO, David McIntyre, who advocates for electric scooters and micromobility as crucial solutions for urban transport, highlighting their convenience and lower cost compared to cars, especially in light of rising urban charges.
