Episode 84: Liz Allan and Harrison Hughes -Plugging into progress with the EV Rally; London to Brighton and Beyond.

Liz Allan speaks to Harrison Hughes, Co-Founder of Current PR Limited and the London to Brighton Electric Vehicle Rally event organiser. Harrison is an advocate for fun and sustainability in the world of electric mobility. They discuss Harrison's journey from managing COVID testing to moving into electric mobility and managing the London to Brighton EV Rally. He speaks about all the quirky converted classics that join the rally, like the electric Morris miner and the efficiency-tracked journey from London to Paris. This year, it's also going to Geneva.     

Harrison Hughes Bio:
Harrison Hughes, co-founder and innovative mind behind the London to Brighton Electric Vehicle Rally, was a visionary far ahead of the mainstream shift to electric vehicles. His journey began not as the frontman, but as the ally to Bill Murray, his astute business partner, and their acquaintance, Tom Druid, the trailblazing owner of Brighton's foremost electric bus company. This trio's curiosity about the capabilities of Druid's new fleet of electric buses sparked the conception of a real-world test— to measure their distance viability and efficiency on a single charge. Hughes's eye for opportunity and Bill's creative outreach transformed a technical trial into an inclusive event. The event retraced the historic avenue of many past rallies but with a modern, electrified twist, setting a precedent for an annual celebration of renewable energy in transportation. From London to Brighton, the rally quickly expanded, gaining international traction with routes extending as far afield as Paris and next to Geneva.
