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

This week, we’re packed with reviews, insights, and some eyebrow-raising news from the electric vehicle world.

First drives & reviews:

• Matt gets behind the wheel of the updated Toyota BZ4X and the all-new Urban Cruiser EV – are the upgrades enough?

• George tests the Skoda Enyaq L&K and VRS, revealing how it stacks up against the Abarth 600e.

• We give our verdicts on the Alpine A290 hot hatch and the city-sized BYD Dolphin Surf.

• George also spends 10 days with the Tesla Model 3 Long Range – and ends up unexpectedly impressed.

In the news:

• XPeng G6 gets 450kW ultra-rapid charging – could this beat the Tesla Model Y at its own game?

• Rachel Reeves’ first budget hints at support for EVs, but where’s the detail?
• Polestar’s frictionless fleet ordering stuns our hosts – how we bought a car in under 5 minutes.
• Xiaomi electric SU7 Ultra beats Porsche and Rimac lap times at the Nürburgring.
• And is Decora really America’s answer to Rolls-Royce?
