Episode 80: Liz Allan and Edmund King - EVs, Safety, and the Future of Driving.

Liz Allan speaks to Edmund King OBE, President of the Automobile Association, commonly known as the AA, who is not just a luminary in the world of transportation but also a champion for driver safety and education. Edmund has led the AA for over a decade and a half, and his tenure has been marked by a steadfast commitment to improving the driving experience for everyone. With a background as a visiting professor of transport and a participant in every Greenfleet EV rally, his expertise and insights are a driving force in the industry. Edmund shares his profound experiences behind the wheel and shaping policy. He discusses the integral role of the AA in the evolution of transportation, from the pioneering days of implementing road signs to navigating the current landscape of electric vehicles. Moreover, Edmund sheds light on essential campaigns like Caitlin's Message, initiated due to a spike in young driver fatalities on rural roads, underlining the vitality of comprehensive driving education and advocating for safer driving practices. 

Edmund King Bio
Edmund King is an avid motoring enthusiast who prefers the driver's seat to any other spot in a car. His passion for driving is not rooted in a distrust of others, but rather in the joy and sense of control, he experiences behind the wheel. Edmund's adventures on the road are diverse and extensive, having undertaken remarkable journeys that include a fascinating tour of Scotland and a marathon drive from John O'Groats to Lands' End.
King's latest venture was as part of the Greenfleet EV Rally, which travelled an impressive tour of the UK's five capitals—starting from Cardiff, passing through Bristol and London, reaching up to Edinburgh, and crossing over to Belfast. His embracing of electric vehicles (EVs) made this expedition stand out. The rally integrated an electric HGV and an electric motorcycle into the mix. Edmund's travels not only fulfil his love for driving but also demonstrate the practicality and enjoyment that EVs can provide on long roads. His experiences highlight the potential for sustainable transportation without sacrificing the pleasure of the journey.

Electric Evolution Recharge Episode 5: Liz Allan and Professor Richard Allan - Advancing into a Fossil-Free Era.

Liz Allan speaks to Richard Allan, Professor of Climate Science at the University of Reading. They explore the dire need for systemic change—shifting from fossil fuels to greener energy, the influence of media on public opinion, the polarising effect of social media, and the innovative strides taken by universities such as the University of Reading in combating this global challenge.

Richard also discusses the record-breaking temperatures of 2023, the destructive weather patterns they've unleashed, and why rapid, significant action is the only path forward.  They delve into what it means to act now, innovate responsibly, and safeguard the future for generations to come. 

Richard Allan Bio:
Richard Allan's journey into climate science began as a curious student in the 1990s. Immersed in the early reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), these comprehensive assessments unearthed his deep-seated interest in understanding the complex narrative of climate change.
