Robert on a shoot in Sardinia where he is test driving the new Renault Zoe. Unfortunately he is not seeing much sign of renewable energy, so he questions the affordability of various sustainable resources and wonders if renewables really are made for the people at the people budgets, or is it still an elitist luxury.  Fully Charged are doubling down on our carbon footprint with how we do reviews and travel across the EU and the rest of the world. Robert discusses battery technology with the announcement of the 1 million battery from Tesla. Finally, Robert goes all sorts of cross with the new announcement from EDF about the recently announced Hinkley Point C increase in cost. Apparently the ground there is very difficult(!)

With the current climate, (no pun intended) I was made aware of a fantastic book by author Tim Smedley called “Clearing the Air”. Why I wanted Tim to join us at FC Live was because he is a true believer that pollution in more urban areas is a real danger to adults and especially our children. So as well as Tim, late on we were joined by a very special guest, so stay tuned for appearance from a very courageous young lady.

We have a duty to think about and indeed act on new resources of energy. We can’t rest on our laurels and expect solar and wind to benefit the world so with this in mind and with an upcoming show coming out in the next couple of weeks about a new Fusion reactor we filmed in the Summer, we thought this Fully Charged Live 2019 talk might be the perfect introduction into it. I spoke to Chantal Nobs from the Culham Centre, Neil Kermode from EMEC and Kerry-Ann Adamson from Advisian, all have their own unique take on the the next wave of energy resourcing.    Thank you to our Patreon supporters, you know by now, how utterly insanely invaluable you are to us.

On this episode of the show, I desperately wanted to have a talk about EV conversions on the Giga stage. This niche market has sprung from almost nowhere to be a highly valued and potentially lucrative business model for people, and also with my experience converting cars to EV’s I invited some of the top people I know to come and talk with me on stage. So the panelists I chose were Richard Morgan from Electric Classic Cars, Chris Hazell from Zero EV and finally Dorian Hindmarsh from QWest.   Patreon: A quick thank you to all our Patreon supporters, without your help we simply wouldn’t be able to keep you informed with all our content we make.

Now with this talk Maddie explores the topic of “How to have a Fully Charged career”. With it being school results time, we thought it was a good time for those young folks, with the world at their feet, to potentially think about a career within this up and coming sector, new energy and sustainability. So with this in mind Maddie talks to David Hunt from Hyperion, Melanie Shufflebotham from Zap Map and lastly (drafted at the last minute, Maddie will reveal why shortly) Cris Chapman from Myenergi We hope you enjoyed this, and hopefully those insider tips the panelists give, help the next wave of talented youngsters out there.

Welcome to the Fully Charged Show Podcast with Helen Czerski,  As you might well know Fully Charged covers a lot of subjects, especially EVs and modernised energy. But, did you know that some of our most popular episodes are about the more different forms of transport, such as electric ferry crossings, plane battery technology and solar trains. So I thought it apt, that at Fully Charged Live 2019 we cover electric planes, trains and nautical vessels. Helen was joined in the Mega Theatre with our fantastic panelist’s Iain Gray from Cranfield University, Alice Gillian from Viva Rail and Anne Kloppenborg from New Electric.
