Episode 96: Liz Allan and Colin Walker - Misinformation, Economic Impact, and Infrastructure Challenges.
Liz Allan speaks to Colin Walker, the head of transport at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit. Colin makes a compelling case for transitioning to EVs, comparing it to the historic shift from horses and carts to motorcars. He discusses the economic benefits, the importance of retraining in the car industry, and the critical need for government action to combat misinformation and accelerate charging infrastructure rollout. Together, they talk about the pressing issues of battery health and the changing dynamics in the car market. Colin provides actionable insights on building consumer confidence, advocating for certification schemes for secondhand EV batteries, and the importance of drawing from the experiences of actual EV drivers. They also explore how misinformation and media bias influence public perception and policy, and how plans for zero-emission mandates could shape the future.
