In this week’s episode of the Everything EV Podcast Matt Allan and Richard Alvin are here to discuss the latest developments in electric vehicles, business fleets, and everything in between.

Here’s what’s in store:

• RAC Warranty Claims Breakdown: Think EVs are expensive to repair? Think again. The RAC’s warranty figures reveal the most costly payouts of 2024, with a petrol BMW engine replacement topping the list at £26,000 – far outpacing EV repair costs.

• Cybertruck Seized in Manchester: The first imported Tesla Cybertruck in the UK has been confiscated by Greater Manchester Police for failing safety and registration standards. We delve into why the Cybertruck isn’t road-legal in the UK and what might happen to the vehicle.

• Alpine A290 Orders Open: Renault’s iconic hot hatch gets the Alpine treatment. Priced at £33,500, this electrified competitor to the Mini SE promises driving thrills with added practicality.

• Affordable EVs Expand Market Options: Great Wall Motors’ Ora 3 sees a significant price drop to under £25,000, taking on competitors like the Renault 5 and Hyundai Kona Electric in the growing small EV segment.

• Business Fleet Electrification: We speak with Tom Rowlands, Global MD of EV Solutions at Corpay, about the transition of business fleets to EVs, the challenges they face with charging infrastructure, and why fleets are still hesitant to fully electrify.

• EV Resto-Mods: Charged Cars is back with a modern twist on the classic 1967 Ford Mustang. This £350,000 ground-up recreation pairs retro styling with an all-electric powertrain. Is this the future of classic car electrification, or is it too niche to succeed?

• Trump’s EV Policies on the Horizon: With President Trump set to resume office, we look ahead to his expected anti-EV stance, potential tariffs on Chinese imports, and what this means for the global and UK EV markets.
