The full trio, Robert Llewellyn, Imogen Bhogal and Jack Scarlet reunite for a gloriously chaotic catch-up and debrief!
First up: a proper Welsh adventure in three of the UK's most affordable EVs; the BYD Dolphin, Citroën ë-C3 and Leapmotor T03. The cars? Impressively modern. The rural charging infrastructure? Occasionally… nostalgic. They delve into password dramas, charger roulette, and what budget EV life really looks like in 2026.
They also chat about Jack's Kia world exclusive and sub 20 degrees conditions in Norway while testing the EV2. Meanwhile, Robert reflects on how Volvo Cars now talks about EVs as simply "cars", the huge cultural shift he's been waiting for!
Plus: solar megaprojects in Australia, gravity storage from Green Gravity, birthday cake… and Jack's big Japan sabbatical announcement...!
