In this special election-season episode, Alex meets Rob Birnie to discuss implications for the Clean Car Discount and Clean Car Standard - a half-hour discussion portraying several scenarios and outcomes. We ask the questions; can fuel pricing achieve the same results? Does a 'clean car fee' unfairly penalise some buyers? And what about emission categories other than transport?

Alex also talks about how to save money on insurance for earlier vehicles, and a technical update on tailgate wiring. And, we discuss some of the latest Supercharger sites.
