Are Electric Vehicles really better for the environment?
It’s the topic almost synonymous with electric vehicles themselves – the environment – but are EVs really as beneficial as we think? To help simplify the science, Nadine and Rusty sit down with Dr Karl Kruzeniski, to debunk some of the most common myths about how green our EVs seem. Our meet an EV-er joins us from the driver’s seat of his BYD Atto 3 and we meet Wiebe Wakker, the Dutchman who drove from the Netherlands to Sydney in 2019 to promote sustainability, although it didn’t exactly start that way. Dubbed the ‘Forrest Gump’ of electric mobility, Wiebe tells us about the triumphs and challenges of the trip, one that involved leveraging a tailwind to extend his range into Coober Pedy… tune in to find out if he made it!

Can the grid cope?
As more electric vehicles hit the road, more power is needed to charge them, leading hosts Rusty and Nadine to ask, can the grid keep up with this increase in demand?

From innovations in power supply, to their own newly revealed fleet of EVs, Brett shares insights into what the future of electricity in Australia could look like and what they’re doing to adapt. We also meet Tim Clarke, eMobility Manager and Product Strategy at Mitsubishi Motors who tells us about the first bi-directional EV charging infrastructure in Australia and what that means for consumers. Our meet an EV-er Garrick Rollason also knows a thing or two about the grid as the Chief Financial Officer at CitiPower, Powercor and United Energy; he reveals the important lessons he learnt as a new BMW i4 owner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The art and engineering of EV sound and body design explained
Everyday batteries get smaller and quieter, leaving manufactures with an empty blueprint and one central question: what should and could electric vehicles sound and look like? Dr Stephan Gsell, Audi Sound Engineer, joins Rusty and Nadine to discuss exactly how they answered that question when it came to the sound of the Audi e-tron GT and why a didgeridoo was central to the process. Our meet an EV-er Chris Kerr from Clipsal by Schneider Electric tells us about the most comfortable 30,000kms he’s ever driven now he’s in a Hyundai IONIQ 5, and Ralph Giles, Head of Design Global at Fiat Chrysler is back to discuss the evolution of electric vehicle design and what could be on the design horizon for Jeep and the iconic 7-bar grille in the future.
