Update on naming: We are changing the way episodes are named going forward. Previously, the episode was named after the month of news the show was covering. However, we now understand that this might have made the episode seem like an older episode than it actually was. This is why the May episode is missing.

Alex and James are back for, sadly, the last time as co-hosts, to cover lots of great EV and charging news since our last episode. As you'll hear in the introduction, James has accepted a role with an EV charging company which means that he won't be able to continue to co-host the show with Alex. The good news is that Alex has found a great new co-host and we'll be moving the show entirely over to being a 'The Interface' production...

We also have a bit of a chat about the London ULEV zone expansion, as well as cyclists and eScooters (with a little rant from James on some of the amazingly unsafe things he's seen) on UK roads after 1-in-3 surveyed drivers say cyclists should be banned from the roads and be forced to use dedi...
