The Fully Charged PLUS Podcast

Join Robert Llewellyn, Jack Scarlett, and Imogen Bhogal for a special year-end wrap-up as they take a mystery tour through the biggest moments of 2025, from unforgettable shoots, to the clean tech stories that really mattered, and share their bold predictions for what's coming in 2026. They kick things off by debunking the myth that EV sales are collapsing, revealing that global battery-electric vehicle sales are actually up 19% year-on-year. From there, the trio dive into their personal "Magic Money Tree" dream garages, featuring the Polestar 5, Kia EV9, the gloriously childish Ioniq 6 N, and Jack's verdict on the potentially game-changing BMW iX3.  There are also behind-the-scenes stories from some of the year's most memorable shoots — including the legendary solar safari in Namibia and the huge electric ferry project in Hobart. To wrap up, the team looks ahead to 2026, with predictions on a potential British automotive revival, the long-awaited arrival of truly affordable small EVs and whether Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is finally ready for the mainstream.

This week, Imogen and Dan discuss XPeng, Hyundai, Porsche and reflect on Rachel Reeves' budget.  Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show - Everything Electric SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park 6th, 7th & 8th March 2026 - Everything Electric NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026 - Everything Electric WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 - Everything Electric GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 Check out our sister channel Everything Electric TECH: https://www.youtube.com/@EverythingElectricShow

In this episode, Jack and Robert are on the ground at Everything Electric Melbourne, sharing their first-hand impressions of Australia's rapidly accelerating shift to electric vehicles and clean energy. It's a super informal chat live on stage about what's happening down under—and why the progress here is giving Robert plenty of reasons to feel just a *little* jealous! They dive into: Catching Up Fast– Australia may have started its EV journey later than some countries, but it's now picking up speed fast, with cities like Brisbane leading the charge.   The Affordability Advantage – Australian buyers skipped the early, overpriced EV era. With models like the BYD Atto 3 and Dolphin arriving at genuinely affordable prices, the market is changing quicker than many expected.    Solar Superpower & V2G Potential*– With world-leading rooftop solar, running an EV in Australia is already incredibly cheap. And with vehicle-to-grid technology emerging, your future car might not just drive you—it could pay you.    EV Market Plateau & Persistent FUD – Why is national EV market share seemingly stuck around 10–11%? They discuss the influence of oil-backed pressure campaigns, myths about charging and batteries, and how media narratives slow adoption.    The Next Big Policy Debate– How should governments replace fuel tax revenue as EVs become the norm? And what lessons could Australia take from Norway's wildly successful tax incentives? 0:00 - Introduction from Everything Electric Melbourne  1:01 - An enjoyable show (squeaky bum time!)  2:03 - Observations on the Australian EV Transition  4:19 - Why Australia is moving quickly: Affordability  5:19 - The Solar Advantage & Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)  8:50 - Jack's Verdict on Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD)  10:33 - Q&A Begins  14:09 - Why is the EV market stuck at 10-11%?  16:16 - The importance of the Used EV Market  26:57 - The Mileage Charge/Fuel Tax Problem  31:38 - Weighing up a Weight Tax for Cars   Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: www.everythingelectric.show    Check out our sister channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/EverythingElectricShow   Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show     Everything Electric SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park 6th, 7th & 8th March 2026  EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026  EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026  EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026

Imogen Bhogal treads thoughtfully through a topic that battery EVs have brought to the fore. In this episode of the Everything Electric Podcast, we sit down with Hankook's Neil Barrett, EV Lead at Hankook, to uncover how tyre technology is being completely re-engineered for the electric age. From instant torque and heavier vehicles to noise reduction and energy efficiency, Neil explains how Hankook's groundbreaking iON range, backed by 58 patents and insights from Formula E racing, is redefining performance for electric vehicles. Discover how the right tyres can dramatically affect your range, grip, wear, noise, and even pollution levels, and why EVs need a completely different approach to what keeps them on the road. This conversation will change the way you think about tyres — and how much they impact your driving experience, efficiency, and wallet.

In this episode, Robert speaks with Glenn Garry, President of the Victoria Electric Vehicle Association in Canada. ️ They explore Canada's current position in the electric vehicle space. With a population of 42 million and over one million EVs already on the road, Canada is making steady progress, but not without its challenges. As a country closely tied to developments in the United States, particularly around EV policy and technology, Canada faces a unique challenge: balancing its own ambitions while navigating the influence of its southern neighbour. Glenn shares valuable insights into the state of EV adoption, infrastructure, and the role organisations like the Victoria Electric Vehicle Association play, not only in advocating for EVs, but in breaking down barriers, debunking myths, and addressing the real-world obstacles that stand in the way of a cleaner, electric future.  @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow   Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel Everything Electric CARS: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show Everything Electric VANCOUVER - Vancouver Convention Center - 5th, 6th & 7th September 2025 Everything Electric FARNBOROUGH - Farnborough International - 11th & 12th October 2025 Everything Electric MELBOURNE - Melbourne Showgrounds 14th, 15th & 16th November 2025 #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk #electricvehicles #evs #renewableenergy

Could we power the entire world with clean energy, 24/7, just by tapping into the heat beneath our feet? According to Jamie Beard, founder of Project InnerSpace, the answer is a resounding yes! She believes we could produce 70-75% of global electricity and 100% of its heat using geothermal energy – without burning a single fossil fuel.   While less than 1% of the world's energy currently comes from this incredible source, Jamie reveals we're on the cusp of a "geothermal renaissance." Even more surprisingly, this renewable powerhouse has an 80-90% skill set overlap with the oil and gas industry, making it uniquely positioned to scale rapidly with existing talent and tools.   In this episode of the Everything Electric Show, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Jamie to unlock the immense potential of next-generation geothermal. From her legal background to working on oil rigs, Jamie's journey highlights how oil and gas expertise – and even fracking technology – could be the key to bringing clean, reliable geothermal energy to homes and industries worldwide.   This episode is sponsored by Duracell Energy!

Battery storage is booming — but how does it really work, and why does it matter? In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen sits down with Ed Porter from ⁨@modoenergy⁩ one of the UK's leading experts on battery energy storage systems (BESS), to demystify the critical role batteries are already playing in balancing the grid — and what's still to come. From frequency regulation and price arbitrage to blackouts and the path to clean power by 2030, we explore how grid-scale batteries are transforming our energy system faster than you think. Ed shares his insights on: Why batteries are replacing gas in grid services — and slashing costs. What dynamic frequency response actually means How the UK went from 0 to 5.3 GW of battery storage — and where we go from here Why the “1.5-hour” battery duration isn't a limitation, but a smart design choice How we plan to survive “Dunkelflaute” and keep the lights on in winter.

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen sits down with Johan du Plessis, CEO and founder of Tepeo, to explore how his company is transforming zero-carbon home heating. Tepeo's Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB) is a smart, efficient, and affordable alternative to a heat pump, designed to seamlessly replace a traditional gas boiler without the need for costly home upgrades. The technology itself makes perfect sense, but building a climate tech business—let alone scaling one—is anything but simple. Johan delves into the key challenges and what's needed to accelerate the adoption of electric heating, from tax incentives for heat batteries to making electricity more affordable. He also highlights the crucial role of energy storage in balancing the grid and unlocking a truly sustainable energy system. As the world moves toward full electrification, Johan shares his vision for the future of home heating and explains why innovation in this space is critical for a cleaner, greener planet.  @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow  https://www.tepeo.com/ https://youtu.be/y_v0midqPDc?si=BjGugw917SAE79Mz Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become a Fully Charged SHOW Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Fully Charged newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/fullychargedshow To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show Everything Electric LONDON (UK) - ExCel - 16th, 17th & 18th April 2025 Everything Electric CANADA - Vancouver Convention Center - 5th, 6th & 7th September 2025 Everything Electric SOUTH (UK) - Farnborough International - 10th, 11th & 12th October 2025 Everything Electric AUSTRALIA VIC - 14th, 15th & 16th November 2025 #fullychargedshow  #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electricvehicles
