In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, we’re doing something a little different—and we're very intrigued to hear your thoughts! This extended interview features legendary car designer Ian Callum, CBE (former Aston Martin and Jaguar designer including the i pace) and Alec Jones, Head of Design at Callum and the mastermind behind Nyobolt's Lotus Elise reimagined for the electric era. As experts in car design, Ian and Alec gave their unfiltered opinions on some AI-generated car designs Imogen created using Vizcom. Their critiques? Let’s just say they weren’t glowing. But what followed was a fascinating and thought-provoking conversation about creativity, the role of AI tools, the future of car design and whether these technologies will harness human imagination—or overshadow it. So, sit back and enjoy this engaging discussion on the future of design, the magic of human creativity, and the role AI will play in shaping our world.  @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, we shine a spotlight on the unsung hero of lithium-ion batteries: Graphite. As the key component of a battery’s anode, graphite plays a critical role in powering EVs and energy storage solutions. However, with over 95% of the world’s graphite refined in China, diversifying the supply chain is more important than ever. We delve into how companies like Quebec-based Nouveau Monde Graphite (NMG) are stepping up, promising carbon-neutral graphite—an ambitious goal for an industry reliant on mining and refining raw materials. The company, backed by supply agreements with GM and Panasonic, is working to determine whether the battery supply chain can truly go green and make sustainable mining a reality. Joining us is NMG CEO and founder Eric Desaulniers to explore these challenges and opportunities. Enjoy this deep dive into the future of sustainable battery materials!  @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, we dive into The Crown Estate's pivotal role in the UK’s renewable energy transition. As custodians of the seabed surrounding England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, they’re powering 11 million homes with offshore wind energy. Imogen explores how their latest initiatives, like the Marine Delivery Routemap, are tackling grid bottlenecks, speeding up consents, and finding harmony between environmental conservation and renewable expansion.

Gus Jaspert, Managing Director for Marine at The Crown Estate, breaks down the UK’s energy puzzle—from wrangling stakeholders like NESO and Ofgem to resolving spatial clashes with fisheries and shipping.

With a need for over 120GW by 2030 requiring a tripling of wind energy deployment, how will the race to net-zero electricity unfold? Tune in to find out!  @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Robert explores the world of tyres with Gunnlaugur Erlendsson, CEO and Founder of ENSO. With billions of tyres in use globally, most made from fossil-fuel-derived synthetic rubber, the environmental impact is staggering. Tyre wear releases six million tonnes of microscopic particles annually—accounting for 28% of primary microplastics in our oceans—and contributes more to air pollution than vehicle tailpipes. ENSO is taking on this challenge with innovative, low cost, durable, high-efficiency tyres specifically designed for electric vehicles (EVs). These advanced tyres produce 35% less pollution and can also extend EV range, setting a new standard for sustainability in the automotive industry. Enjoy!  @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Robert Llewellyn chats with Tom Heap about his brand new book, Land Smart. As demands for food, renewable energy, carbon storage, and housing grow, we’re running out of land to meet them all and having to ask how we strike the right balance. Tom, known for his work on Countryfile, Rare Earth, and The Climate Show, shares insights from his tour across the UK, where he’s met with farmers, scientists, and conservationists who are pioneering smart land solutions that support both humanity and nature. Listen for an exploration of how we can create a future where land serves multiple purposes without compromising our planet’s health.
