    SAYONARA! Is JAPAN being left behind? And JACK's 'gear' change!
    It's no secret that this is a year of change at the Fully Charged Show, and after 5 years of relative 'sustainability', we're bidding farewell to a few of our biggest stars (in front of, and behind the scenes). And now, arguably none bigger than, Jack Scarlett. And we've had some serious on-screen talent, from the immense Imogen Bhogal, to the magnificent Maddie Moate, and not forgetting the incredibly funny, Jonny Smith. In fact, when Jonny left to launch the Late Brake Show, he left huge shoes to fill. And then we happened on the talented (and tall), Jack Scarlett, who was making a name for himself over on Electroheads. From the moment, I saw him I was convinced that Jack was a future star, and we were able to persuade him to join the Fully Charged Show for a while, which turned out to be 5 fabulous years. As you will, I have a huge trove of fave moments with Jack, but rather than divert your attention, I'd recommend you listen to this, his last Everything Electric PODCAST, with our OG, Robert Llewellyn. In it he reflects on his recent sabbatical in Japan and its absence from the battery electric battleground, as well as giving us a glimpse of the glittering road ahead for his career. The truth is, I always suspected he was headed for even greater things. We're just grateful that we all got to enjoy his good humour and automotive acumen for quite as long as we did. Farewell Jack, see you down the road! All the best, Dan, Robert & the team PS See Robert & the rest of the gang at our biggest events of the year in September!

    USELESS ULEZ - Choked? Has Sadiq Khan's flagship policy saved lives, or harmed livelihoods?

    Air pollution in London has changed dramatically over the past few decades — but how much of that is down to policies like ULEZ, and what's still being missed?

    This week Helen Czerski is joined by Dr. Gary Fuller, an air pollution scientist at Imperial College London who has spent over 30 years measuring air quality in the capital. They cover what's actually in the air we breathe, how ULEZ and other low-emission schemes have changed it, and the surprisingly large health benefits that are now being measured — plus the pollution sources still flying under the radar.

    Catch us live at Everything Electric Greater London (Twickenham, 11-12 Sept) and Sydney (18-20 Sept).

    00:00 Intro – ULEZ and London's air today

    02:21 Meet Dr. Gary Fuller

    03:50 Has London's air pollution actually improved?

    07:25 What's in the air

    11:45 How air pollution is measured

    16:34 A short history of LEZ and ULEZ

    19:13 The evidence

    25:37 Tyre and brake wear – the overlooked pollution source

    29:24 What Gary would fix next: Heathrow, aviation fuel, wood burning

    33:46 Health impacts – the Ella Kissi-Debrah case

    37:32 Quantifying ULEZ's health benefits

    44:23 Why doesn't the health argument win politically?

    48:59 US case study: 40% drop in admissions after a plant closed
