In Episode 204 Gary chats with Colin Walker, head of transport at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, about the work he is doing removing, countering, and fighting misinformation around electric vehicles.
We discuss EV fires, tyre and brake particulates, the state of EV sales and all the other tropes that publications like the Telegraph and Net Zero Watch appear to be pushing forward.
Guest Details:
Colin is Head of Transport at the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit - a non-profit organisation that supports informed debate on energy and climate change issues in the UK.
Colin joined ECIU in August 2022 from British Cycling, where he worked as the organisation’s lead for London and the central regions for four years. Hi focus was on developing the sport, improving the diversity of participation in cycling, and realising the environmental and societal benefits of cycling as a means of transportation.
Before British Cycling, Colin spent 15 years working in policy and advocacy in the charity sector – this included time at Save the Children, Mind, Which?, Warchild, and Plan International.
