October 05 The 70% Problem: What Still Needs Electrifying with Michael Liebreich
This week, Helen Czerski catches up with Michael Liebreich on why hydrogen's hype is deflating, what the electrification staircase says we should do now, and why the energy transition is easier than it looks.

0:00 Introduction and welcome to Michael Liebreich

2:04 What is the "hydrogen soufflé"?

5:35 Hydrogen ladder 6.0: cheaper batteries and a growing "row of doom"

9:14 Why clean hydrogen will likely stay blue, and white hydrogen reality check

14:07 Wind and solar overtake gas, and the primary energy fallacy

18:45 Do fuel cells have a future? Data centres and backup power

21:29 The electrification staircase: the 70% still to electrify

32:56 Who it's for, plus noisy motorbikes, Orwell's coal fire and induction hobs

37:39 Trump, heatwaves, Hormuz and Australia's battery boom

47:13 Skiing, glaciers, "no cold turkey on progress", and the Cleaning Up plug

August 31 SAYONARA! Is JAPAN being left behind? And JACK's 'gear' change!
It's no secret that this is a year of change at the Fully Charged Show, and after 5 years of relative 'sustainability', we're bidding farewell to a few of our biggest stars (in front of, and behind the scenes). And now, arguably none bigger than, Jack Scarlett. And we've had some serious on-screen talent, from the immense Imogen Bhogal, to the magnificent Maddie Moate, and not forgetting the incredibly funny, Jonny Smith. In fact, when Jonny left to launch the Late Brake Show, he left huge shoes to fill. And then we happened on the talented (and tall), Jack Scarlett, who was making a name for himself over on Electroheads. From the moment, I saw him I was convinced that Jack was a future star, and we were able to persuade him to join the Fully Charged Show for a while, which turned out to be 5 fabulous years. As you will, I have a huge trove of fave moments with Jack, but rather than divert your attention, I'd recommend you listen to this, his last Everything Electric PODCAST, with our OG, Robert Llewellyn. In it he reflects on his recent sabbatical in Japan and its absence from the battery electric battleground, as well as giving us a glimpse of the glittering road ahead for his career. The truth is, I always suspected he was headed for even greater things. We're just grateful that we all got to enjoy his good humour and automotive acumen for quite as long as we did. Farewell Jack, see you down the road! All the best, Dan, Robert & the team PS See Robert & the rest of the gang at our biggest events of the year in September!

August 24 Has China saved electrification & is Australia a canary in the 'clean' coal mine?
Robert Llewellyn is joined by a special guest who brings some much-needed positivity. Yes, the world's changing fast, but it's not all bad, and clean energy legend Professor Ray Wills reminds us why. One thing is for certain, the axis of influence is tilting towards the Asia Pacific...
