Welcome to another episode of the Everything EV podcast, hosted by Matt Allan and Richard Alvin.


This week, we're bringing you a special on-the-road edition recorded from the back of a luxurious Lexus LM, where we chat about the latest in electric vehicle news and trends. Here's what you can expect:


A Mobile Office in a Lexus LM: Matt records from the backseat of a Lexus LM, a luxury van that doubles as a mobile office. Find out why this ride might just be the ultimate work-from-anywhere vehicle!


Toyota and Lexus Test Drives: We get hands-on with some of Toyota and Lexus's newest electric models, including the updated BZ4X and the upcoming Lexus RZ 300 E. While there's an embargo on details, Matt shares his first impressions and what these updates mean for efficiency and comfort.


Affordable EVs on the Rise: With prices shifting rapidly in the EV market, we discuss the new BYD Dolphin and how it's shaking up the list of the most affordable electric vehicles. Plus, we explore the recent changes in pricing for other budget-friendly EVs, including the Mini Cooper SE and the Citroen EC3.


The Pay-Per-Mile Debate: With the shift to electric vehicles, the campaign for better transport has reignited the controversial idea of a pay-per-mile system for EVs. We unpack the pros and cons, potential implementations, and what it could mean for drivers.


Challenges in EV Charger Rollout: A new report reveals that the rollout of EV chargers isn't matching the nationwide need. We talk about the complexities of planning, infrastructure, and the importance of strategic placement of chargers to meet growing demand.


Debunking EV Myths: We highlight a survey showing that misinformation about electric vehicles is still prevalent among petrol car drivers. From fire risks to cost misconceptions, we bust some of the most common myths that are holding back wider EV adoption.


The Future of Last-Mile Delivery: Learn about the innovative solutions emerging for zero-emission last-mile deliveries, including new vehicles that carry more than traditional e-cargo bikes, promising a cleaner and more efficient delivery system.


Join us for these topics and more as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of electric vehicles. Don’t forget to subscribe to the Everything EV podcast to stay updated on the latest trends and insights in the world of EVs!
