    In this week's episode, Ginny and Tom discuss the new Renault 5, the BYD U8 and the end of the road for the Nissan LEAF. Plus we help a mystery shopper find their perfect new electric car.If you have a car buying question or want to be included in our postbag, add your comment below or message us at info@electrifying.com. Every week, the Electrifying.com meet online to discuss all the important matters at hand. Such as the weather, what we're all having for our tea and who dumped who in last night's Love Island. Between these heavyweight subjects, we also talk about electric cars. A lot. Probably an unhealthy amount to be honest. And when we do discuss cars, we find out a lot. From industry gossip to the more mundane practicalities of electric car ownership, it's the place where we dish the dirt on the cars we've been driving and deliver our own verdicts on the latest electric car news. We also like to have a good laugh at the daftest bits of anti-electric news that we've seen in the press. We can't promise that you'll learn much. You probably won't. But if you fancy 30 minutes of idle chat and gossip about the world of electric cars, we're here for you. If you like it / hate it / think it's too long or too short, let us know. Hosted on Acast.
