Whilst for most of us this is probably the most noticeable in the evolution of our gardening equipment, leading the vanguard of the new era in "powered by power" devices is the electric vehicle, or EV.

Tesla, with the help of significant US government support, has spent the last decade or so dragging the western automotive industry from its rusted-on adherence to fossil fuel powered engines, into the 21st century and beyond.

As electric vehicles have been proven to be, not just the future, but the near future, more and more established players have been forced to develop and adapt their own vehicle production methods to try to stay relevant.

With all emerging technologies, and in particular big tasks like redefining how our vehicles are powered, there comes engineering challenges, alternative energy approaches and vested interests.

Several energy sources have been offered as alternatives to batteries, with hydrogen being brought to the fore as a potential suitor with some noteworthy advantages, on the surface anyway. But more on that in the show.

To help colour in the exciting and long overdue revision of reenergising global transport we are lucky to be joined on the line, from Canada, by energy aficionado, Paul Martin.
