Is the EV Revolution Unstoppable?
Battery-powered cars are becoming more popular, but there's still a danger incumbents will slow uptake.
With competition between different manufacturers stiffer than ever, electric vehicles are finally becoming mainstream. But this hasn’t stopped a flood of negative stories and political attempts to scare people away from making the switch to better, more cost efficient vehicles.
So is the EV revolution now inevitable or will incumbents have the last laugh? Bryony Worthington sits down with Ben Nelmes, the Chief Executive of New Automotive, a UK-based not for profit focused on the clean energy transition in road transport.
In the latest episode of Cleaning Up, Ben shares his insights on the UK and European electric vehicle (EV) markets, including:
How data and evidence can shape policy debates around EVs and other clean technologies.
The latest trends in EV costs, range, and charging infrastructure.
The politics of EVs in the UK and Europe, including differences between political parties.
The impact of EVs on government revenues and potential reforms to vehicle taxation.
The role of EVs in integrating renewable energy onto the grid
