KILOWATT HALF HOUR EPISODE 20: THE ELECTRIC CAR BARGAIN (THAT USED TO BE A CAT)

EV Channels Review

This episode of Kilowatt Half Hour delves into the current electric vehicle market, highlighting a surprisingly affordable leasing deal for the ORA 03 (formerly Funky Cat) at £169/month with no deposit, making it a compelling option for budget-conscious buyers. The team also discusses the updated Skoda Enyaq, noting its new, more efficient drivetrain and impressive 545 Nm of torque, making it surprisingly quick. A significant portion of the podcast is dedicated to listener questions, including advice on home charger installations and company car choices like the Mercedes EQA and the Vauxhall Astra Electric. The latter is praised for its real-world efficiency, achieving 5 miles/kWh in mild conditions, though winter testing is expected to reduce this. The hosts also engage in a lively debate about bringing back defunct car brands, with Saab, Alvis, and Triumph being popular suggestions, and discuss the controversial topic of electrifying classic cars.
