Possibly The Best EV Ever Made with Ricky Roy | The Fully Charged Podcast

I'm one of your 2% women, Bobby! Been a subscriber to your channel since I found it looking for Carpool episodes 14 years ago! I also LOVE cars and tech. EV cars are like my wet dream. Imagine actually driving something with Star Trek-type technology. Nerd Heaven!

Part of the 8 percent. Picked up my pink BYD Dolphin today. Soon to get my solar panels and home battery. Love Everything Electric and Fully Charged.

New standard response to questions about EVs on social media: "Shut up, you just plug it in like a mobile"

I was wondering why I’d heard all this before, then realised it’s because I was there 🤣

Thank You for adding these discussions from the Everything Electric show. I would love to go, but none are close to me and it's great that you have added those videos back. Initially when you and Jonny did the fully charged shows you would record them and play them and I really enjoyed them.

The production line was created by the British navy in Nelson's time to produce wooden blocks for the running rigging on warships.

Ricky I’ve wanted to do a pool / house heat exchanger for years. An in-ground pool can absorb heat endlessly. I learned this when I used to try to heat one with gas… ugh what a waste.

The passion for EV's will build. I went to a home built meeting in a Seattle park about twenty years ago and the dead quiet torquey contraption that I got to drive felt like magic to me. I've been riding an E-bike for a couple of years and every time I ride it amazes me. I went to high school during the peak of muscle cars, rode dirt bikes and snowmobiles. I will not miss that noise, Battery advances will make EV's cheaper and the performance will be remarkable. If the cars will be moddable, kids will really get into them.

Work that is Ricky doing for Fully charged and Two Bit Da Vinci is just awesome, you have great team keep up with great work and greetings from sLOVEnia ❤😊😊😊😂

Thank you Robert and Ricky for your good efforts at stitching together a cleaner and more beautiful world! PEACE ❤

Great conversation between Ricky, Elliott & Robert - thanks

A delightful interview!🇨🇦

Very interesting and intelligent conversations .... world beating journalism.

The AC Propulsion T-zero was the vehicle that planted the seed of the modern EV revolution. The T-zero was what gave Elon Musk the inspiration for the original Tesla Roadster and he actually licensed technology from AC Propulsion for the first Tesla Roadster.

I have been enjoyed, so thank you for delivering.

Couple of things. At ExCel saw the Rivian and F100, gf (one of the woman dragged along 😉 ) pointed out the storage space behind cab of R1T would be great for chain saws etc putting them out of sight, so +1 for the newbies, but then when getting in and out of cab it becomes apparent which firm has been around for over a hundred years, with my slightly limited mobility hopped in and out of F100 with no problems, my first attempt at getting in R1T was a failure, it was only later in day that we returned and being determined to sit in the R1T that with a bit of head scratching worked out how to get in it.

I found the conversation between Elliot and Ricky discussing Chinese demand quite interesting. Elliot highlighted his challenges with purchasing a BYD Seal(?) in China and the issue of scaling production and actually meeting demand came to mind. However, I have also watched stories on Arriva's micro-factories. I acknowledge there is a significant difference between boutique/bespoke production tailored to the client's specifications and mass production. I sense that at some point the resistance to EVs will burst and manufacturers will be flooded with orders, will they be able to cope?

It was a great show in London. See you in Harogate.

Love the comment about viewership as we watch the studio lights reflecting off all the bald heads. 😮 Elon tried to make EVs sexy but you can only do so much once culture is ingrained. Big sells but the planet needs small or at least right sized... only people think too big is normal and what they need. Ricky is right about pushback and I think the fight will be long and dirty. I am so glad I got to live now before we ruin it all and we will. We may live longer and healthier today but they never quote measures like species and habitat loss. We don't just need EVs, we need sustainable transport solutions but most people won't compromise and won't get an EV unless it costs less with no loss of convenience. That is a recipe for failure. End mini rant.

Love this show. I am disabled and just sorting my second electric car. Currently a Hyundai Kona. Looked at BYD yesterday. Their style is for young people but well made. Here comes another Kona. BYD could wipe lots of bigger car companies if Ford doesn't look out!
