Do EV batteries need to be bigger, or are they already big enough? In this episode of the WhichEV podcast, James and Stef discuss emerging technologies such as Theion's, which promises to triple the range available for the same size and weight as a battery today. This could end the much-discussed "range anxiety" once and for all. We also talk about exciting new releases including the Lotus Eletre, Kia EV9, Maseratie Grecale Folgore, Audi A6 Avant e-tron and Cupra Born.

Now that there are two electric racing series regularly on broadcast TV screens - Extreme E and Formula E - James and Stef discuss whether either one can really replace the excitement of petrol-powered competitions like Formula 1 in this episode of the WhichEV podcast. Or does electric racing provide something different to traditional motorsport?

Environment Minister George Eustice has claimed that because EVs are heavier, they emit more tyre and brake pollution. But he's clearly wrong, particularly about the brakes.

With the price announcements of the i4, and iX, is BMW committed to electrification again, and will it succeed? James and Stef discuss the possibilities. The i3 is continuing to please, and the iX3 is imminent, meaning electrification could be the next Neue Klasse for BMW, leading the company to a renewed future where it continues to dominate the luxury car market. We also consider whether Ford is making a similar play with the F-150 and Mustang Mach E.

Could Volkswagen really challenge Tesla in the electric vehicle market? Or is the ID.4 GTX too limited to compete with the Model Y? Does Tesla have too many technological advantages? Maybe Mercedes will pose a better challenge with the EQS. James and Stef get a bit too Model X-rated as they discuss the pros and cons in the latest WhichEV podcast. We also consider the value of VW's MEB platform, which can be found in the ID.4, Skoda Enyaq iV, and even Audi's Q4 and Q4 Sportback. Warburton's new electric bread delivery truck makes us say "crumbs", too.

Stef also explains how he went to Hawaii to research electric vehicles, not swim with turtles and hang out at the beach.
