239 - The Government Wishlist Episode

In the final non-round-table episode of the season, we look at the new government and what they can do.With each guest this season I've asked them the same question "With the change in government what can the new government do to increase the uptake of EVs?"I've collated all the answers and summarised the key themes. What I've also done is asked Matt Adams from the REA to comment on the likelihood of things happening and to discuss what the REA are currently doing in the governmental realm.Matt Adams: Matt's WebsiteThis season of the podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.Links in the show notes:Pope Francis receives first electric G-Class “Popemobile” from Mercedes-Benz - Cool ThingEpisode 89 - Matthew Adams: Powering the Future of EV Policy | The EV CaféEpisode produced by Arran Sheppard at Urban Podcasts: https://www.urbanpodcasts.co.uk(C) 2019-2024 Gary Comerford Support me: Patreon Link: http://www.patreon.com/evmusingsKo-fi Link: http://www.ko-fi.com/evmusings The Books:'So, you've gone electric?' on Amazon : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q5JVF1X'So, you've gone renewable?’ on Amazon : https://amzn.to/3LXvIckSocial Media:EVMusings: Twitter https://twitter.com/MusingsEvInstagram: @EVmusingsOctopus Energy referral code (Click this link to get started) https://share.octopus.energy/neat-star-460Upgrade to smarter EV driving with a free week's trial of Zapmap Premium, find out more here https://evmusings.com/zapmap-premiumMentioned in this episode:Zap PayZapmap, about Zap-Pay - your simple and convenient way to pay for EV charging.
