In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Seb Inglis-Jones, the co-founder and CEO of Maeving, the UK’s leading electric motorcycle manufacturer.

 Seb shares the origin story of Maeving — from building a team of ex-Triumph and Norton engineers to hand-building retro-styled electric bikes in Coventry. They dive into the beauty of removable batteries, reviving two-wheeled mobility and manufacturing in the UK and, what it takes to convert even the most loyal of petrolheads to electric!

Seb also explains how Maeving is expanding internationally — city by city — and why the joy, calm, and mindfulness of electric motorbiking is pulling in a new generation of riders.

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Lars Reger, CTO of NXP Semiconductors, to explore the critical role that chips play in the electric vehicle revolution. With the average EV containing around 10,000 semiconductors - 10 times more than an combustion car, these tiny silicon components are doing some seriously heavy lifting — from power & energy management, control systems, security, connectivity to autonomous driving and increasing amounts of AI.   NXP supplies chips to major automotive players around the globe, giving Lars a front-row seat to the transformation of electric mobility from the incumbents, to the new players and beyond. Together, they delve into what it really means to create a software-defined vehicle, the future of self-driving and the need for energy-efficient AI. Lars also shares what can be learnt from the global chip shortage and how it can be avoided from happening again.

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen sits down with Johan du Plessis, CEO and founder of Tepeo, to explore how his company is transforming zero-carbon home heating. Tepeo's Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB) is a smart, efficient, and affordable alternative to a heat pump, designed to seamlessly replace a traditional gas boiler without the need for costly home upgrades.

The technology itself makes perfect sense, but building a climate tech business—let alone scaling one—is anything but simple. Johan delves into the key challenges and what’s needed to accelerate the adoption of electric heating, from tax incentives for heat batteries to making electricity more affordable. He also highlights the crucial role of energy storage in balancing the grid and unlocking a truly sustainable energy system.

As the world moves toward full electrification, Johan shares his vision for the future of home heating and explains why innovation in this space is critical for a cleaner, greener planet.  @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow

From pioneering the Nissan LEAF to shaping the future of electrification, Dr. Andy Palmer has seen it all. In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with the legendary automotive leader to discuss:

⚡The untold story of the Nissan LEAF – how it almost didn’t happen

⚡The two tribes inside Nissan: those who believed in EVs vs. those who didn’t

⚡How China’s long-term strategy gave it an unshakable lead in the EV race

⚡The UK’s missing industrial strategy & why political instability is stalling investment

⚡How cheaper electricity is the key to mainstream EV adoption

⚡The future of batteries – solid-state, LFP, and energy storage

Andy Palmer doesn’t hold back on why Nissan fell behind, how legacy automakers are lobbying against progress, and what the UK must do to remain competitive in the EV space.
