"Two or three years ago people thought we were a little bit nuts and a bit sort of fringy - now, actually, people are properly on board and are wanting to come and have a conversation with us - we've almost become the cool kids." That's the experience of this week's main guest on Highways Voices, Chris Pateman-Jones who is CEO of the EV chargepoint provider Connected Kerb. He discusses how the EV charging network will come about in the next eight years, and what challenges there are, but that he is confident it can be delivered. "When you think of the fibre deployment that's taken place across the UK," he says, "This isn't impossible, there is huge opportunity here." In the chat with Highways Voices presenter Paul Hutton, he discusses how to deliver a socially equitable charging network, the different sorts of chargers and locations and why chargepoint operators should have the opportunity for long contracts with local authorities. They also talk about educating the public to understand EVs, "I think there is real need for centralised campaigns to really help people to understand what the transition is like, from a non commercial perspective," he says, "Almost like during the 1980s with the Buckle Up campaign. That's the sort of thing that needs to be done here to really help people to understand what's going on."

The importance of having balance in life, and not focusing too much on work or too much on the play Striving for your goals, and how you are often happiest when you are on the journey, and not when you are at the destination The drop-off sportsmen experience after they retire, the benefits their discipline gives them but the negatives a somewhat sheltered life gives them when moving on to new careers.

EVs are starting to sell in considerable numbers, but the charging infrastructure isn't keeping up, with UK councils only planning to install 35 chargers each by 2025. This week, James and Stef discuss the current state of charging in the UK, including the report by Connected Kerb, which says that people will only be happy to switch to EVs if they have local charging. This has also been backed up by a recent MIT report, which also argues that a multi-faceted approach is the best one. But street charging will clearly be central, which is why Shell has purchased Ubitricity, as will driveway charger sharing services like Co Charger's, and the focus on bookable hotel parking charging from YourParkingSpace. Charger forecourts like Gridserve's will play an important role, too. But one thing's for certain - we need more chargers for the massive explosion in the EV market. Music by Soonripe Collective.
