This episode was recorded live on stage at our Everything Electric Farnborough show during the panel Tariffs, Tensions & the Race to Electrify: How Global Politics Is Shaping the Clean Energy Transition.

From trade barriers and protectionist policies to shifting alliances, misinformation and industrial competition, the clean energy transition is playing out against an increasingly political backdrop.

With a year of Labour leadership in the UK and mounting global competition, this discussion dives into how politics is shaping the future of EVs, supply chains, and energy infrastructure.

On stage with Robert Llewellyn:

• Tim Dexter – Vehicles Policy Manager, Transport & Environment
• James Court – Public Policy Director, Octopus Electric Vehicles
• Ajai Ahluwalia – Head of Supply Chain, RenewableUK
• Tanya Sinclair – CEO, Electric Vehicles UK
