Taking my friends for their first ever EV experience
In this video I take good friends Paul and Joanna out for their first ever journey in an electric car! And Paul gets to drive it too. I try to answer their EV questions as best I can (feel free to correct me in the comments). Find out what they think of the experience of travelling and driving in an EV. I also discuss why some people may find the decision to change to a full electric vehicle challenging and why the same problems relate to other renewable technologies, such as heat pumps and solar panels.
