Summary

Ginny, Tom and Vicky are back with another episode of the Kilowatt Half Hour, diving into the world of EVs with their usual mix of insight and inane banter. This week: spreadsheets (yes, really), conferences and rising fuel and energy prices—plus why electric driving still stacks up. There’s talk of real-world range in the BMW iX3 , a new “Barnard’s Bargain”, and reactions from the ZEV conference. As always, your comments and questions spark debates on everything from efficiency and sliding rear seats to retro design and platform sharing. It’s informative, irreverent and more entertaining than it has any right to be. ⚡ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
