The Fully Charged Podcast

This week Quentin welcomes Labour’s Shadow Minister for Transport, Bill Esterson MP. In this incredibly insightful interview, they discuss the transition to electric vehicles and Labour’s plans on this front.    As an EV driver and politician, Bill recognises the many benefits of embracing electrification for individual convenience, air quality and economic growth. But he also highlights the current challenges to achieving this, much of which he feels stems from the government’s mixed messaging and the rise in misinformation and scepticism from certain media outlets.    Bill also shares an overview of Labour's plans to accelerate the transition, including details of their "5 missions" framework, aimed at achieving self-sufficiency in renewable energy, fostering economic growth, and creating opportunities for people.    Podcast references:   Find out more about the great Grid Upgrade: https://www.nationalgrid.com/the-great-grid-upgrade      Support our StopBurningStuff campaign and help fight EV and clean energy misinformation: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff   Join us at the next Everything Electric expo for more myth-busting content: https://everythingelectric.show   Subscribe for episode alerts and the Stop Burning Stuff newsletter:  http://eepurl.com/iKxG9-/   Visit: https://fullycharged.show/blog/stop-burning-stuff-myth-busting/ Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/StopBSCampaign Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/stop-burning-stuff
