Listen Later

Welcome to another electrifying edition of the Everything EV Podcast from EV Powered, hosted by Matt Allan, George East and Richard Alvin – this week reporting in from the Formula E paddock in sunny Miami.

In this episode, the team dives into the latest shake-up to the UK’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate and what it really means for car makers, hybrids and British jobs. Are these changes genuinely about Trump’s tariffs – or just political window dressing?

Plus:

Electric motorbike breakthrough: Verge’s latest model shatters range records – could this be a turning point for two-wheeled EVs?

Finland’s silent EV revolution: How a country better known for rally stages and ice hockey is fast becoming a global EV leader.

Why Renault is smashing the EV game: Matt lifts the bonnet on Renault’s factory secrets, explaining how it’s delivering class-leading electric cars at cut-price costs.

 BYD’s bold claims: China’s new luxury EV brand Denza aims to take on Porsche, Audi and BMW – but does its tech match the hype?

 Special Guest Interview:

Robert Llewellyn, host of Fully Charged and star of Scrapheap Challenge, joins the pod to discuss:


  • How California pollution laws inspired his EV journey

  • The return of Zapheap Challenge

  • Why BYD will dominate, and what the UK must do to catch up

  • What to expect at the Everything Electric London show this Easter
