247 - The Back To ICE Episode
This episode of EV Musings explores the reasons why some electric vehicle owners switch back to internal combustion engine (ICE) cars.
Gary discusses misconceptions about EVs, challenges with charging infrastructure, and external factors that may force a return to petrol or diesel vehicles.
He emphasizes the importance of education in helping new EV owners adapt to the differences between EVs and ICE cars.
The episode also highlights research showing that 97% of EV owners remain satisfied with their choice, despite some challenges.
This season of the podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.

The T and E Webinar
As the public charging infrastructure matures, access to accurate, comprehensive data is critical to helping the industry achieve profitability.
Zapmap Insights, alongside GRIDSERVE and InstaVolt, will be joining Transport + Energy at 11am on Wednesday 2nd April 2025 to discuss critical issues around utilisation at ultra-rapid charging sites, and how CPOs manage, plan for and respond to the changes in utilisation across their network.
How can CPOs use data to optimise the customer experience and maximise retention? How can industry players best identify partner and funding opportunities? Which sites offer the best long-term routes to ROI? How can we begin to plan for differentiated pricing strategies? Are operational functions as efficient as they could be?
