The midnight washing machine

Let's talk about the E in EVs. The electricity. Where's it going to come from? Can wind and solar provide enough power to charge our batteries? Can it be reliable enough? Or will this end in a terrible irony - that we have to use *more* fossil fuels, simply to drive the cars which were meant to decarbonise motoring? In this episode we look at whether renewable energy can keep track with a mass transition to EVs. What happens if the whole plan (electric cars = clean transport) gets out of kilter? Would we be better off encouraging people to keep driving their old, small, ICEs? And does the whole project rely on flawed assumptions about behaviour change - like doing your laundry overnight? Our special guest is Kathryn Porter, founder of Watt Logic, and one of Britain's leading energy analysts.

Going nuclear

Could nuclear power be the key to sustainable motoring? We don't mean putting atomic reactors under car bonnets. What we mean is: whether nuclear power could generate electricity so cheaply it could be used to mass-produce biofuels. They work in conventional engines, and altogether this could make it much easier to decarbonise motoring. So far so logical, but is it achievable? That's the question we discuss with Dr Tim Gregory, nuclear chemist and author of ‘Going Nuclear - how the atom will save the world’.

EV v AI

What does the explosion of AI mean for the electrification of motoring? Will there be enough power to sustain both? And if push comes to shove, won't governments prefer sexy data centres to humdrum EVs? That might well be true of Donald Trump, who's making hay from a pushback on eco-policies in the US - where, as it happens, sales of hybrids are on the rise. The US seems happy to let the best tech win, while the UK and Europe have put all their chips on BEVs. But in the long run - which will prove better for sustainable motoring? We discuss all those topics and more with special guest Tammy Klein, chief exec of Transport Energy Strategies, in Washington DC.
