87. Is expensive petrol driving people to electric cars?
About this episode
The episode explores the impact of rising oil prices on the shift towards electric vehicles and discusses various aspects of EV ownership.
As tensions rise in Iran, global oil prices are climbing, with potential knock-on effects for everyday costs. From higher petrol and diesel prices to wider economic pressures, the impact is becoming more noticeable. But could this moment mark a tipping point for electric vehicles? In this episode, we dive into the realities of EV ownership; unpacking range anxiety, upfront and long-term costs, and the true environmental footprint. Are electric cars really the greener, smarter alternative to traditional engines, or is the picture more complicated than it seems? Plus, are ice packs rubbish or not, is a hand dryer better than paper towels, and why might the new owners of Robbie's house be unhappy with him?
