Welcome to the latest episode of the Everything EV Podcast from EV Powered, hosted by Matt Allan, George East and Richard Alvin.

This week, we’re covering tax talk, new EVs from Peugeot and Lexus, rally-bred Vauxhalls, and why Nissan and Renault are getting serious about small electric cars.

What we’ve been driving:

  • Matt samples a slew of EVs from BMWMini, and Genesis, including the high-performance JCW Mini Electric and the updated Genesis GV70.

  • George goes international with first drives of the dual-motor Peugeot E-3008 and E-5008 in Germany, and previews the new Lexus ES300e from Brussels.

  • Plus: Long-distance lessons in charging costs, and a surprising verdict on the Peugeot E-5008.

  • In the headlines:

  • Rumours swirl around EV tax changes – could the £40k premium car tax be axed?

  • Lexus unveils the new ES300e, its first full electric version of the long-running saloon.

  • Nissan reveals the Micra EV – a Renault 5 underneath, but with its own distinct character and design.

  • Renault confirms the Twingo EV is coming to the UK – possibly for under £20k.

  • Vauxhall reveals the Mokka GSe Rally, a 276hp EV built for all-electric rallying.

  • Special Interview:

    Matt speaks with Deepak Chandrasekharan, Managing Director of new ultra-rapid charging brand Source, about their alternative approach to public EV charging hubs.

    Teaser Alert:

    We’ve got a special edition of the podcast dropping Wednesday, where Matt and George debate which EVs will become future classics. Stick around for an exclusive preview at the end of this episode!
