Summary
This week’s Kilowatt Half Hour comes to you from a slightly chaotic (and very depleted!) Electrifying.com team, as Vicky and Tom hold the fort while everyone else is off driving secret cars, sipping cocktails or… impersonating David Attenborough. There’s plenty to get into, though. We discuss the upcoming all-electric Renault Twingo and whether a sub-£20k EV can really deliver, plus Tom shares his early impressions of the astonishing Porsche Cayenne Electric Turbo. We also dive into the latest news, including plans for solar panels and heat pumps in new homes, and MG’s upcoming semi-solid-state batteries. Elsewhere, we crunch the numbers on EV vs petrol running costs, revisit used bargains like the MG4, and tackle your questions — from Volvo EX30 battery issues to real-world efficiency and future Audi A2 rumours. As ever, it’s a mix of insight, opinion and a bit of chaos from the world of electric cars. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
