Cheaper Teslas? Chinese Threat?

For our last podcast of 2022 Robert wanted to catch up with ‘our man in China’ Elliot, to find out what he’s been up to and get the lowdown on all the local news.

With updates on BYD’s growing dominance, China’s grid capacity challenges, the tough times ahead for Tesla, and how by increasing their use of burning coal China are set to smash their emission targets.

Elliot also shares details on the new ‘largest wind turbine in the World’, and Robert affectionately describes a very popular and cheap EV as being ‘like the box your fridge gets delivered in!’

And finally, Robert and all the whole team at The Fully Charged SHOW hope you’ve enjoyed the podcasts in 2022 and please do stay tuned for more of the same in 2023!

Vehicle to Everything?! Can Electric Cars SAVE the Grid?

Vehicle to Everything?! Can Electric Cars SAVE the Grid?

Join Imogen and Robert as they explore what is V2G? How will it actually help? Is anyone doing it already and when can we expect Vehicle to Everything?!!

V2G (vehicle to grid) could be the answer to how electric vehicles will help the grid, reduce our bills and make the grid cleaner. 1 million EVs with V2G could be the equivalent of 5,500 wind turbines! Sounds too good to be true? Well we thought it was time to find out!

Batteries, Buses & A Brilliant Business Model

Batteries, Buses & A Brilliant Business Model

In this week’s episode Robert is joined in the studio by Steven Meersman, Co-Founder & Director at Zenobē.

Last year Dan spoke with Steven about how they use battery storage to drive the uptake of renewables & power electric vehicle fleets. This time we find out more about their portable 2nd-life battery power solution, the Powerskid, as well as how they continue to revolutionise the public transport sector.

Transitioning public transport to electric can make significant inroads towards hitting net-zero targets, but for operators the operational, technical and financial risks can be a major hurdle. That’s where Zenobe’s ETaaS, or Electric Transport as a Service, business model can really have an impact. Steven takes Robert through how ETaaS works, what they have been doing with National Express here in the UK and why Zenobē believe this type of offering can really make a significant difference.

Find out more about Zenobē.

Fully Charged FRIENDS feat. Juliet Davenport

Ever since Robert filmed his first pilot for the Fully Charged SHOW, some 12 years ago, he’s always wanted to record a podcast in front of a small, high quality audience. Well in this week’s edition of the Fully Charged Podcast he does just that.

Joined by Fully Charged CEO Dan Caesar and presenter Imogen Pierce, this pilot of the new Fully Charged FRIENDS video podcast showcases a new format that will begin rolling out from April 2023.

This week’s special guest and long-term friend of Fully Charged is Juliet Davenport OBE, former CEO of Good Energy and current Chair of Atrato Onsight Energy, which focuses on commercial solar rooftops. Alongside being on the board of EV charging company Connected Kerb, Juliet has also recently published The Green Start-Up which brings her extensive industry knowledge and experience together to help guide founders and business through the journey of making their organisations greener and better for the planet.

The Hard Truth About Nuclear Power

The Hard Truth About Nuclear Power

Since its inception, Nuclear Power has split opinion and so we thought it was time to explore why, and ask if Nuclear has a place in a net zero future.

Whilst renewable power such as wind and solar will always come up on top, their intermittency might leave space for this zero carbon often controversial power source, to make up at least a fraction of the grid.

Rising energy prices, managing nuclear waste and a plight for energy security and it looks like we may well have to ask ourselves some serious questions about Nuclear. Join Dr Helen Czerski as she finds out more.
